The Complainant has requested from the University of Bristol (the University) the annual salaries of all senior managers by reference to their job titles and departments in £5,000 salary bands. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has incorrectly applied section 40(2) (personal information) and 43(commercial interests) of the FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner also found that the University breached section 10(1) of the FOIA due to the time it took to respond to the request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested information. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0162 appeal allowed.
