University of Leicester

The complainant has requested details of a survey conducted by the University of Leicester (‘the University’). The Commissioner’s decision is that the information is commercially sensitive and the University is entitled to withhold it under section 43(2) of FOIA. The public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The University’s response and refusal breached section 10 and section 17 as they were not provided within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the University to take any corrective steps.
