London Borough of Harrow

The complainant made three multi-part requests for information to Harrow Council (the ‘Council’) for internal email chains about penalty charge notices (‘PCN’), together with related questions about the Council’s Parking Service. The Council initially refused the requests under section 12 of FOIA (exceeds cost limit). At internal review, the Council amended its position and instead cited section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests).The Commissioner’s decision is that the requests were vexatious and therefore the Council was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse them. The Commissioner does not require any steps.

FOI 14(1): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 156857
