London Borough of Hackney Council
The complainant requested meta-data relating to the handling of one of their previous requests. The London Borough of Hackney (“the Council”) initially relied on section 42 to withhold information within scope of the request, however during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation amended its position to rely on 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious) to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was not vexatious and therefore the Council was not entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner requires the Council to issue a fresh response to the request that does not rely on section 14(1) of FOIA. The Council must take this step within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice.FOI 14(1): Complaint upheld
