Summary: The complainant made six requests for information which concerned further requests for clarification on information that he had received previously that all concerned the administration of the University-™s medical school courses in general and the undergraduate MB ChB medical degree in particular. The public authority responded that it believed section 12(1) [the costs limit] applied. It confirmed its view in its internal review. The Commissioner has considered the case in detail and has concluded that section 12(1) was correctly applied in this case. He has also considered whether the public authority offered reasonable advice and assistance when it considered the request in accord with section 16(1) and has concluded that it did not. However, he has determined that no further advice and assistance is required in light of this Notice. He has also noted that there have been procedural breaches of sections 10(1) and 17(5) of the Act in this case, but he requires no remedial steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2010/0178 withdrawn.
