Council of the University of Cambridge

The complainant has requested information on FOIA requests received relating to 11+ tests used in Buckinghamshire, Birmingham, Warwickshire and any other area using the tests for a period of five years. The University of Cambridge refused the request as vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA and section 12(1) due to the cost of compliance. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has correctly categorised the request was vexatious and was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse it. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2021/0075 appeal dismissed.
