Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council

The complainant made 44 information requests over a 10 day period. Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council refused the requests relying on section 14(1) (vexatious request) of the FOIA on the basis that complying with the requests would place a disproportionate burden on its resources. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council also cited regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable request) of the EIR to refuse those requests which included environmental information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA and regulation 12(4)(b) EIR to refuse the requests.

FOI 14(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: IC-48692
