Decision Summary

• Case Ref: FS50215164
• Date: 03/03/2010
• Public Authority: University of Newcastle
• Summary: hold the information. In relation to its application of the exemption contained at section 44(1)(a) of the Act, the University cited section 24(1) of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 as the relevant statutory bar on disclosure. The University later argued that the requested information was not held by the University. The Commissioner considers that the requested information is not held by the University, and he also considers that if it were, then the section 44(1)(a) exemption would be correctly engaged in this case. The Commissioner did not go on to consider the University's application of the provision contained at section 12 of the Act or the exemptions contained at sections 38 and 43.
