The complainant has made two requests for information to Cromer Town Council. In the first request the complainant seeks information relating to a legal dispute which the Council had been engaged in. The second request concerns information which relates to a Police Information Notice issued to a third party following a complaint made to the Police by the Town Clerk. The Council has refused to comply with both requests in reliance on section 14(1) of the FOIA on the grounds that they are vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cromer Town Council is entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA.
