East Hertfordshire District Council
- Date 16 November 2011
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Upheld, FOI 14: Upheld
The complainants made 16 requests for information mainly related to financial probity or governance. The Commissioner’s decision is that East Herts District Council has not dealt with the requests for information in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Environmental Information Regulations 2004 by: incorrectly withholding information under the vexatious exclusion, and, in the case of environmental information, the manifestly unreasonable exception; and taking too long to respond in and provide the information. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0293 withdrawn.
