West Sussex County Council

The complainant requested information from West Sussex County Council (the Council) regarding parking bay sizes. The Council refused the request under section 14(1) (vexatious requests) on the basis that it was vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and the Council was therefore entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
