University College London

The complainant has requested the HERA score for a particular job role in the University College London (the university). Initially the request was refused under section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA but during the Commissioner’s investigation a late reliance in section 43 was also claimed. The Commissioner’s decision is that the university is not entitled to rely on section 43 of the FOIA for the non-disclosure of the requested information. In terms of section 36(2)(c), while the Commissioner accepted the exemption is engaged, she has decided that the public interest in favour of maintaining the exemption is outweighed by the public interest in favour of disclosure. She therefore requires the university to disclose the requested information to the complainant. In terms of procedural matters, the Commissioner found the university in breach of section 10 of the FOIA.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 43: Complaint upheld FOI 36: Complaint upheld
