Summary: The complainant made a number of requests to King-s College Cambridge (the -College-). The College withheld some information under the prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs exemption (sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii)), and the legal professional privilege exemption (section 42(1)). In relation to some of the requests it also stated that no further information was held. During the investigation it confirmed that further information was held, some of which it was now prepared to disclose. In relation to the outstanding information it confirmed that it was also withholding it under the third party personal information exemption (section 40(2)). The Commissioner-s decision is that the College has correctly relied upon sections 40(2) and 42(1) to withhold some information. He is also satisfied that it does not hold any relevant information in relation to one part of the requests. However, he has also decided that some of the information is not exempt under these exemptions. Finally, the Commissioner is also not satisfied that further relevant information is not held in relation to one of the requests. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Partly Upheld
