University of Manchester

The complainant has requested a variety of information from the University of Manchester relating to the appeal he made. The university responded providing a response to each question and access to some documentation. The complainant remained dissatisfied, as he felt the university had failed to respond to his request appropriately and had failed to provide a copy of all the recorded information it holds. He also complained about the delays he had suffered. During the Commissioner’s investigation further recorded information was identified and disclosed to the complainant on a number of occasions. The complainant is satisfied that this element of his complaint has been resolved. However, he remains dissatisfied with how the university has handled his request and the piecemeal disclosure of information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the university has breached sections 1 and 10 of the FOIA, by failing to respond to the request in 20 working days and by failing to disclose to the complainant information to which he is entitled on a number of occasions within 20 working days of his request. But as all recorded information has now been identified and disclosed to the complainant, the Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.
