- Decision(s) EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld, EIR 14(3): Upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to land. St John’s College (‘the College’) refused to deal with the request citing section 14(1) (vexatious requests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR and the College isn’t obliged to comply with it. However, he’s recorded a regulation 14(3) breach as the request was refused under the wrong legislation. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
