The complainant requested from the University of Warwick (the University) information regarding the University's disciplinary actions and polices related to a specific incident involving student expression. The University subsequently provided the information requested, but confirmed it does not hold some of the information falling within scope of question 2 of the request. The University cited section 42 (Legal professional privilege) of FOIA to information which it later identified during the Commissioner's investigation. The Commissioner finds that the University does hold information within question 2 of the request which relates to Regulation 23 (Student Disciplinary Offences). However, all such information is exempt from disclosure under section 42 of FOIA, and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The University was therefore entitled to rely on section 42 of FOIA to withhold information relating to Regulation 23. The Commissioner does not require the University to take any steps as a result of this decision.
