University of York
The Commissioner’s decision is that the University of York (‘the University’) correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to the majority of the requested information associated with a previous FOIA complaint that it’s withholding. The University misapplied section 40(2) to a little of the information but this information is exempt under section 40(1). The information is other people’s and the complainant’s personal data and disclosing it wouldn’t be lawful. The University’s refusal notice didn’t comply with section 17(1) of FOIA as it incorrectly cited section 40(2) in respect of the complainant’s own personal data. It’s not necessary for the University to take any corrective steps.
FOI 17:
Complaint upheld
FOI 40(2):
Complaint not upheld
FOI 40(1):
Complaint not upheld
Decision notice:
