Tower Hamlets Council
In six requests, the complainant has requested information broadly about Balfron Tower, a residential tower block in the district of Tower Hamlets. London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council (‘the Council’) indicated that it does not hold information within the scope of two of the requests, released information in response to another and refused to comply with other of the requests under section 12(1) of the FOIA (cost exceeds the appropriate limit). During the Commissioner’s investigation the Council confirmed that its position now is that it is not obliged to comply with the requests because they are vexatious under section 14(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the complainant’s requests are vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA and the Council is not obliged to comply with them. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.FOI 14: Complaint not upheld
