Imperial College London (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50449944 (26 February 2013)
Summary: The complainant made three requests for information relating to a particular department at Imperial College London (Imperial). Imperial initially refused to disclose this information under sections 40(2) (personal data) and 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation, the complainant limited the scope of the issues that needed to be considered. Imperial subsequently disclosed some of the requested information but considered that the remainder was subject to section 14(1) (vexatious request) and section 43(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner has decided that Imperial correctly applied section 14(1) to the requests and does not therefore require any steps to be taken as a result of this notice. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld
