24 August 2017, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant has requested submitted a detailed and lengthy request to Kirby Muxloe Parish Council. Having initially complied with the majority of the complainant’s request, and following the Commissioner’s intervention in this matter, the Council determined that it should have refused the complainant’s request in reliance on section 14(1) of the FOIA on the grounds that it is vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the complainant’s request engages section 14(1) of the FOIA and therefore Kirby Muxloe Parish Council is entitled to refuse to comply with that request.
FOI 14: Not upheld
