Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant requested information from Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (“the Council”) relating to its freedom of information database. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on section 14(1) (vexatious request) of FOIA to refuse to provide the requested information. However, he finds the Council breached section 10(1) (time for compliance) by failing to respond to the request within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take steps.

FOI 14(1): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 292866
