Sunderland City Council

The complainant requested information relating to a long-standing complaint about a family grave. Sunderland City Council (the Council) refused to comply with the request under the criteria for section 17(6) of the FOIA (refusal of request). The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and the Council was entitled to apply section 14(1) of the FOIA (vexatious request) to refuse the request. She also considers that the Council was not obliged to issue a refusal notice in respect of the request, in accordance with section 17(6) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.

FOI 17: Complaint not upheld FOI 14: Complaint not upheld
