The complainant has requested various copies of correspondences and information relating to funding and grants from Coventry University (“ the University”). The Commissioner’s decision is that: The University was entitled to rely on section 12(1) and 12(2) when responding to this request.

The University breached section 10 and section 17 by failing to respond to the request within 20 working days and issue an appropriate refusal notice.

The Commissioner requires the University to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Provide advice and assistance to the complainant regarding how they can refine their request within the cost limit.
