Norwich City Council

The complainant made two requests for information with regards to an insurance matter. Norwich City Council (the council) refused both requests under section 14(1) of the FOIA as it considered them to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly applied section 14(1) of the FOIA to both requests and that the council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA to the first request as it responded to it outside the required 20 working day timeframe. As the council has now responded to both requests, the Commissioner does not require it to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0126 Under Appeal.
