The complainant submitted ten information requests to Thanet District Council over a one month period. The public authority categorised all ten requests as vexatious and refused them under Section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ten requests are vexatious and that the public authority is not obliged to comply with the same. The Commissioner also found that the public authority contravened the requirements of section 1 and section 10 of the FOIA by failing to provide a response to the requests within 20 working days.
