Cardiff University
16 February 2016, Education (University)
The complainant has requested information in connection with a complaint regarding a named academic employee of Cardiff University. The University refused to confirm or deny whether it held relevant information citing section 40(5) of the FOIA on the basis that to confirm or deny whether a complaint had been received against a specific employee would in unfairly disclose personal information. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cardiff University appropriately relied on section 40(5) of the FOIA to neither confirm or deny whether it held any relevant information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
