You can't vex a Texan

Martin Rosenbaum | 11:43 UK time, Friday, 30 March 2007

I thought I was a serial requester until ...

I the individual who made 90 freedom of information requests to the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú within a six-month period - this week the Information Commissioner issued a ruling that the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú was right to reject his latest batch of requests as 'vexatious'.

But that's nothing. In Texas . Well, everything's big in Texas. The school board retaliated by suing the parents, but . The board has sent the couple over 100,000 pages of documents. You could probably call that an administrative burden.

FOI cases and the lawyers. I do not often hear that solicitors get involved in trying to unbutton the stays of the FOI here in Great Britain. The Texan case sounds like a law firm got involved.

How on earth does one parents case generate 100,000 pages of documents else? A $ sign no doubt on every bit of paper. And whilst the parents may have one - I would guess a greatly reduced bank balance for both them and the school board.
