Cromer Town Council
13 March 2017, Local government (Town council)
The complainant has submitted a request recorded information from Cromer Town Council. The ambit of the complainant’s request is particularly wide since it relates to litigation between the Council and Hoyl Group Limited concerning the right of access to the basement flat at North Lodge. The Council refused the complainant’s request in reliance on section 14(1) on the grounds that the request is vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cromer Town Council has properly applied section 14(1) to the complainant’s request. She finds that the complainant’s request for information is vexatious and consequently the Council is not obliged to comply with the provisions of section 1 of the FOIA.
FOI 14: Not upheld
