7 July 2015, Education (University)
The complainant requested copies of emailed correspondence including deleted emails relating to speeches given at local council meetings and to letters to the press. The university refused the request under s14 FOIA as it was considered vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that s14 FOIA was applied correctly. The university is therefore not obliged to comply with the request. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 14: Not upheld
