Queen Mary University of London

The complainant has requested information relating to the initial assessment of applications to the University’s school of medicine. The University refused the request citing the exemption provided by section 43(2) – prejudice to commercial interests, as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has not demonstrated that disclosing the information would be likely to prejudice its commercial interests. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the withheld information as identified in its submission to the Commissioner dated 12 July 2018.
