Summary: The complainant requested information about the expenses of two borough councillors. The public authority disclosed some information but this was considered by the complainant to be incomplete and he requested an internal review of the response. An internal review was not conducted, but the public authority subsequently wrote to the complainant, informing him that the request was now refused as vexatious, under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act. The Commissioner finds that the public authority was incorrect to refuse the request as vexatious and upholds the complaint. He also finds that the public authority breached section 1(1)(a) and section 10(1) of the Act. He requires the public authority to provide a response to the complainant which complies with section 1 of the Act.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 14 - Complaint Upheld
