The Christie NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested information associated with a car parking planning application. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust initially handled the request under FOIA and refused the request as vexatious under section 14(1). Its final position is that the request is manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The complainant’s request is manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, by virtue of being a vexatious request. The public interest favours maintaining this exception. The Commissioner does not require The Christie NHS Foundation Trust to take any corrective steps. Information Tribunal FTT EA/2022/0226 appeal struck out.
