- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld, EIR 14: Upheld, FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainant requested from Blaby District Council various information relating to his address. The Council refused to comply with the requests under section 14(1) (vexatious requests) of the FOIA and regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable requests) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to apply section 14(1) of the FOIA and regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. However, the Council breached regulation 14 of the EIR by failing to inform the complainant of it’s refusal under that legislation. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
