Kings College Cambridge
23 October 2017, Education (University)
The complainant made a request for information relating to sexual harassment. Kings College, Cambridge (the College) refused the request as vexatious under sections 14(1) and 14(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the College has incorrectly applied the provisions at sections 14(1) and 14(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner therefore requires the College to issue a fresh response under the FOIA which does not rely on section 14. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
