East Riding of Yorkshire Council

The complainant requested information from East Riding of Yorkshire Council (the Council) relating to void information and repair costs for a property in the area. The Council refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious request). 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 to be taken as a result of this decision notice.
