Information Commissioner's Office

Summary: The complainant made a request to the University of East Anglia (the University) for eight particular documents. The University provided the complainant with the information requested at points 2 and 4 of the request but applied regulation 6(1)(b), regulation 12(4)(d) and regulation 12(5)(f) to withhold some of the requested information. It also applied regulation 12(4)(a) as some of the requested information was not held. The Commissioner considers that the University correctly applied regulation 6(1)(b) to point 3 of the request (apart from one sentence contained within that document), regulation 12(4)(a) to points 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the request, regulation 12(4)(d) to the one sentence in the document relevant to point 3 of the request to which regulation 6(1)(b) does not apply and regulation 12(5)(f) to point 1 of the request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0051 dismissed.
