Weaverham Parish Council

  • Date 10 September 2013
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld, FOI 14: Not upheld
The complainant has requested all documents pertaining to the purchase and upkeep of a range of sites owned by Weaverham Parish Council (“the council”). The council refused to comply with the request as it considered it to be vexatious under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (“the FOIA”). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied section 14(1) of the FOIA, but should also have cited regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations (“the EIR”). He requires no steps to be taken by the council. Information Tribunal appeal (EA/2013/0202) part allowed.
