The complainant made a freedom of information request to the West Lancashire Borough Council (‘the Council’) for details of the number of legal notices served by its environmental protection section. The Council refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA on the grounds that it was vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 14(1) was correctly applied and he requires no steps to be taken.
