Vexacious people in Taranaki

Dr Robert Shaw made this Official Information request to Taranaki Regional Council

The request was successful.

From: Dr Robert Shaw

Dear Taranaki Regional Council,
My Millar asked for details regarding your vexacious people. I also would like to decide for myself they are correctly classified as vexacious. Copy of his request is below. Hence, can you please provide to me the material you collected for Mr Millar?
Yours faithfully,

Dr Robert Shaw

Dear Taranaki Regional Council,

I notice that you have recently declared three people to be "vexacious" and therefore out-rightly refused to provide responses to any future requests from them.

See:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-ne...

Given this almost unheard of decision from a local government I would request the following:

1) All documents related to this decision including any legal advice received, communication with the Office of the Ombudsmen or other external bodies and internal communication.
2) The figures and calculations used to provide the quoted estimate of the $30,000 as well as the period for which this was calculated.
3) Any internal communication discussing a potential submission to the recently released Law Commission report on the Official Information Act and Local Government Information Act or relating to a decision not to make such a submission.

I should note that I am in no way affiliated with the trio listed and am not making this request on their behalf. I am merely interested in the decision itself and the reasoning behind it.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Gavin Millar

Dear Delia Smith,

Thank you for the material. The links worked well. It is a great delivery system.

Now I have read the material, might you please indicate to me what causes your council to decide the people invovled are "vexatious"? They seem to be trying to engage a very complicated matter in a full way. Presumably there was an officer's paper of advice to the council to make the classification "vexatious". Can you please provide me with a copy of that paper and anything else that pertains to the "vexatious" decision?
Was there anything published in the local government literature about your decision on this matter? If so, might you indicate to me where?
Regards to all.
Robert Shaw
