The complainant requested information about local sports pitch drainage. Leicestershire County Council responded to the request, issuing a refusal notice under section 14 of the FOIA, as it considered it be vexatious. Upon review the Council complied with request, correctly responding under the EIR. However the Commissioner finds that the Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to respond to the request within 20 working days.
