26 September 2017, Education (University)
The complainant has requested information about the suspension or cancellation of contracts with examiners. The Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is the brand name of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, a department of the University of Cambridge. CIE provided some information but refused to provide the remainder of the request under section 12(1) of the FOIA, as it would exceed the appropriate cost and time limit to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that CIA is not obliged to comply with the remaining parts of the request under section 12(1). The CIA did not meet its obligation under section 16 to offer advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 12: Not upheld
