ICO The complainants requested information concerning the provision of legal advice about the composition of the Academic Board at the Royal Holloway University of London. RHUL refused the request under section 14(1) and 14(2) of the FOIA. The complainants do not accept the application of section 14. They also argue that RHUL has not provided a valid refusal notice as it does not provide particulars of any internal review procedure or confirm that such a procedure does not exist. The Commissioner’s decision is that RHUL is correct to apply section 14(1) of the FOIA to the request and is entitled to refuse to conduct an internal review. No steps are required.
