University of Newcastle
26 June 2017, Education (University)
The complainant has requested information regarding a former student of Newcastle University (the University). Under section 40(5)(b)(i) of the FOIA the University neither confirms nor denies that it holds this information, which it says would be the personal data of third persons. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University is correct to neither confirm nor deny that it holds the requested information, and that the exemption under section 40(5)(b)(i) is engaged. The Commissioner does not require the University to take any steps.
FOI 40(5) (1): Not upheld
