What the court held

  • The committee found the volume of requests alone was not sufficient to establish vexatious conduct.
  • The finding rested on hostile, threatening, and abusive communications directed at city employees, including a reported threat of violence.
  • The respondent did not attend the hearing or submit materials, and the committee noted it had no choice but to accept the city's evidence at face value.
