City of York Council

  • Date 1 November 2018
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) FOI 17: Not upheld

The complainant has requested copies of background documents provided to the Audit & Governance Committee. The Commissioner’s decision is that not only is the request vexatious, but that it would have been unreasonable in the circumstances for City of York Council to issue a fresh refusal notice. The Council is therefore entitled to rely on Section 17(6) of the FOIA to issue a fresh refusal notice. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take further steps.
