University of Sheffield

The complainant has requested copies of studies and reports held by a named professor that provide evidence of the existence of SARS-COV-2. The University of Sheffield (‘the University’) refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests). The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has incorrectly applied section 14(1) to categorise the request as vexatious. The Commissioner requires the University to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose the requested information or issue a fresh response to the complainant’s request that does not rely on section 14(1).

FOI 14(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 283697
