- Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainant submitted a request to Birmingham City Council (“the Council”) for information relating to works carried out in Georges Park.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore the Council was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. However, in failing to respond to the request within the statutory timescale, the Commissioner has determined that the Council breached section 10(1) of FOIA.
The Commissioner does not require further steps as a result of this decision notice.
