The complainant submitted a series of requests to Eltisley Parish Council (the ‘Council’) for information about the Council’s finances, assets and agreed contracts. These are classes of information listed as being available under the Council’s publication scheme. The Council refused to comply with the requests on the grounds they were vexatious and applied section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -‘Act’). Having considered the arguments provided by the Council, the Commissioner does not consider that the Council has demonstrated that section 14(1) applies in this case.
