Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant requested information from Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (the “Council”) relating to a tenant case against a landlord, the action taken by the Council and other information. The Council refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests). The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore the Council was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
