City of London Corporation
31 January 2017, Local government (Other)
The complainant made a request to the City of London Corporation (“the CoL”) for information about employees of the CoL with responsibility for the state of repair of his place of residence, including their contact details. The complainant also sought information about jobs being carried out at the location by a named contractor. The CoL refused all of the requests on the basis that they were vexatious, in accordance with section 14(1) of FOIA, and stated that it would not respond to future requests on related matters. The complainant then made a further request for the name of another officer at the CoL. The CoL did not respond to this. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CoL acted appropriately by refusing to respond to the request under section 14(1) FOIA, and by not responding to the further request in accordance with section 17(6) FOIA. She therefore does not require the CoL to take any further action.
