- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld
The complainant made four requests for information to Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (‘the Council’) over a short period of time, broadly relating to the provision and processes regarding Special Education Needs (SEN) within the Council. The Council considered that the requests were vexatious and relied on section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner considers that the requests were vexatious and that section 14(1) was correctly engaged. The Commissioner requires no remedial steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0061 allowed.
