Cumbria County Council
- Date 26 June 2017
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relevant to the provision of section 5(2) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, and actions which the complainant believes Cumbria County Council’s Monitoring Officer should have taken in respect of this provision. The Council has refused the complainant’s request on the grounds that it is vexatious and the request is therefore subject to the Council’s application of section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cumbria County Council has properly applied section 14(1) to the complainant’s request and it is therefore it is not required to comply with that request.
