Summary: The complainant has requested information about liability orders issued and withdrawn by the council in respect of council tax and non-domestic rates. The request was refused on the grounds of the costs for compliance, under section 12(1) of FOIA. During the Information Commissioner-™s investigation, North East Lincolnshire Council indicated that, in the alternative, it also intended to refuse the request under the provisions of section 14(1) of FOIA, on the grounds that the request was vexatious. The Commissioner-™s decision is that North East Lincolnshire Council has not shown that the request was vexatious, and cannot rely on the provisions of section 14(1) of FOIA, but that council-™s estimate, that the cost for compliance with the request exceeds the statutory limit, was reasonable and the request was correctly refused on the grounds of section 12(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld
