University College London

The complainant has requested University College London (UCL) to disclose email correspondence between Professor Birchall and Lancet in relation to a case report that was published by the Professor in the Lancet in 2008. UCL refused to disclose the requested information citing section 36(2)(b) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that UCL is entitled to refuse to disclose the requested information in accordance with section 36(2)(b)(ii) and that the public interest rests in maintaining this exemption. The Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.

FOI 36(2)(b)(ii): Complaint not upheld
