University of Sussex
The complainant has requested information about a protest arranged by the Sussex Friends of Palestine Society. The University of Sussex (‘the University’) withheld the information under sections 38 and 42 of FOIA, which concern health and safety and legal professional privilege. The University has now confirmed that it’s no longer relying on section 42 but has applied sections 31, 36, 40, and 41 to the request. These exemptions concern investigations, prejudice to the conduct of public affairs, personal data and information provided in confidence, respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University is entitled to withhold the requested information under section 36(2)(b)(i) and section 36(2)(b)(ii) of FOIA. It’s not necessary for the University to take any corrective steps.FOI 36(2)(b): Complaint not upheld
