University of Oxford

The complainant submitted an information request to the University of Oxford (the university) for information concerning pay and conditions, and the occupation of Wellington Square in relation to the Conferences of Colleges of the University (COCOXF).
The Commissioner’s decision is that the university has not complied with its duty under section 1(1) of FOIA, in relation to parts three and four of the request. 
The Commissioner requires the university to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
•    Perform fresh searches for any information that would be held, for the purpose of FOIA, that would fall within parts three and four; and then
•    Either disclose the information or issue a valid refusal notice in accordance with section 17 of FOIA.
The university must take these steps within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
