The complainant requested information relating to long running disputes that he has with the council over planning issues and properties that he owns. The council argued that it did not have to comply with the requests because the requests were vexatious and repeated under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or manifestly unreasonably under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly determined that the requests were vexatious under the FOIA or manifestly unreasonable under the EIR. There are no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0302 dismissed.
