- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld
The complainant made a series of requests to South Gloucestershire Council regarding costs, staffing levels and service procedures within the Council’s taxi licensing department. The Council refused to comply with the requests, claiming that they were vexatious under section 14(1) of the Act. The Commissioner finds that the Council correctly applied section 14(1) to the requests, and requires no steps to be taken. The Commissioner also finds that the Council breached section 17(7)(a) of the Act as it failed to provide the complainant with details of its internal review procedure. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0048 dismissed.
