Decision Summary

• Case Ref: FS50109184
• Date: 14 March 2007
• Public Authority: Bretforton Parish Council
• Summary: The complainant requested a copy of a cemetery plan which was refused by the Council under section 14 of the FOIA on the basis that it had already communicated the information and the request was therefore vexatious. The Commissioner considered the exclusions under section 14 (1) and section 14 (2) but was not satisfied that these exclusions applied. The Council subsequently applied section 40 (2) because it considered that information in the plan relating to living people who have purchased cemetery plots is third party personal data. The Commissioner agreed that this information is exempt but the Council are required to release a copy of the redacted plan to the complainant within 35 days.
