Queen Mary University of London

The complainant made a request for information to Queen Mary, University of London (“QMUL”) on 19 January 2010 for certain details regarding the Admissions and Recruitment Committee held in May 2009. QMUL refused his request on the grounds that it believed the request to be vexatious and applied section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”). The Commissioner has considered the context and background leading up to this request and has decided that QMUL correctly applied section 14(1) within that context. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2010/0175 withdrawn.
