Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
The complainant has made two requests for information held by Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (the council) relating to its contract with a ground maintenance business. The council initially refused the requests under section 14(1) - vexatious requests, of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). During the Commissioner’s investigation, the council confirmed that it was also relying on section 12(1) – cost limit, of FOIA, as its basis for refusing the complainant’s requests. Whilst the Commissioner finds that it is the EIR that is the correct information access regime, he has decided that the council is entitled to refuse both requests under regulation 12(4)(b) – manifestly unreasonable, of the EIR.EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld
