Link for IOC full Decision notice pdf file: Birmingham City Council (Local government) [2025] UKICO 324784 (6 February 2025)
The complainant requested information about the suspension of two parking bays. Birmingham City Council (the Council) refused to comply with the request on the basis that it was vexatious under section 14(1) (vexatious requests) of the FOIA. The Commissioner's decision is that the Council should have considered the request under the EIR. The Commissioner finds that the Council was entitled to apply the equivalent exception, under the EIR, regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable) to the request, and that the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
