The complainant has made a request to Horsham District Council (‘the council’) for information relating to classes, complaints, and staff training at a public leisure centre. The council refused the request on the basis that it was vexatious under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (‘the FOIA’). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly refused the request as vexatious under section 14(1). However, the council provided its response outside of 20 working days, and therefore breached the requirement of section 10(1).The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 14: Not upheld
