SIC Attendance at courses – On 11 March 2015, Mr Hamilton asked the University of Edinburgh (the University) for information which would show whether two named individuals had attended certain courses. The University stated that it did not hold any information about one of the individuals. In relation to the other individual, it stated that it required further information from Mr Hamilton to allow it to identify the information, and that the cost of providing information would be excessive.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner did not accept that the University required further information from Mr Hamilton in order to comply with his request. However, she accepted that the University did not hold information about one individual and that, given the broad terms of Mr Hamilton’s request, it would cost more than andpound;600 to provide information about the other individual.
