Shropshire Council
- Date 4 August 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld, FOI 8: Not upheld
The complainant has asked Shropshire Council (‘the Council’) to comment on a series of allegations he put to it. The Council refused the request, citing section 14 (Vexatious requests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that only one part of the request correspondence met the requirements of section 8 (Requests for information) of FOIA and thus constituted a valid request for information. He is satisfied that the Council was entitled to rely on section 14 of FOIA to refuse that part of the request. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.
