1. The complainant requested information from the Council about a certain publication. The Council had previously relied on section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests) to refuse similar requests and was now relying on section 17(6) as a basis for not responding to the complainant-™s current request. 2. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the request was vexatious and that the Council-™s previous refusal notice was valid. Therefore, the Council was entitled to rely upon section 17(6) of FOIA to refuse to provide a response. 3. The Commissioner does not require any steps.

  • FOI 17(6):Not upheld
