Whether request vexatious – Mr N requested from South Lanarkshire Council (the Council) copies of changes to planning legislation and the Council’s guiding policy. The Council responded that it regarded the request as vexatious in terms of section 14(1) of FOISA. Following a review, Mr N remained dissatisfied and
applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council had dealt with Mr N’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA, as it was justified in treating Mr N’s request as vexatious and therefore was not obliged to comply with the request.
