Gateshead Council
The complainant requested copies of information that the Council has (or which he believes has) relied upon in the course of dealing with his ongoing grievance. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council was entitled to rely on Section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse to respond. However it failed to issue its refusal notice, applying Section 14, within 20 working days and thus breached Section 17(5) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken in respect of this complaint. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0053 under appeal.FOI 14: Complaint not upheld FOI 17(5): Complaint upheld
