3 April 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has submitted a request for information to Great Yarmouth Borough Council which concerns the financial payments or other assistance paid or given in respect of properties at specified locations, and any reviews, assessments and checks regarding the financial circumstances of any applicants and recipients of those payments. The Commissioner has established that the Council did not reply to the complainant’s request on the grounds that it is vexatious and subject to the Council’s application of section 17(6) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Great Yarmouth Borough Council is entitled to rely on section 17(6) of the FOIA and therefore it is not obliged to reply to the complainant’s request.
FOI 17: Not upheld
