  • Decision(s) FOI 14(1): Not upheld

The complainant requested from Doncaster Council (the Council) information relating to council tax overpayments and refunds. The Council refused to comply with the request under section 14(1) (vexatious requests) of the FOIA.

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.
