Summary: The complainant requested full details of the leaving packages and pension enhancements paid to senior staff not covered by the framework agreement at the University of the Arts London (the University) since 2004. The University withheld the information under sections 40(2) and 41 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) on the grounds that disclosure would be unfair and in breach of confidence. The Commissioner finds that section 40(2) is engaged in this case as the disclosure of the individuals-™ personal data would be unfair. He also finds that the University breached a number of procedural requirements under the Act but does not require any steps to be taken.
