- Decision(s) FOI 43: Not upheld
The complainant requested various information from Ulster University (‘the University’) regarding its courses and applications. The University refused to comply with the request, citing section 43(2) (commercial interests) FOIA to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has correctly applied section 43(2) to the request. However, in failing to issue its refusal notice within the required timescales specified under section 10(1) FOIA, the Commissioner has recorded a breach of section 17(1) FOIA.
