15 June 2010

Dear University of Salford,

I notice from
http://www.artsandbusiness.org.uk/News/2...
that "Arts & Business has joined forces with Salford Business
School to develop an innovative and creative approach to engaging
and inspiring their employees."

Please could you tell me the exact sum paid by Salford Business
School to Arts & Business for this project?

Please could you also provide details of all other costs associated
with this project, for example insurance, installation, etc.

Yours faithfully,

Li Na

Dear Li Na,

Thank you for your for your requests. I apologise for the delay in responding to your emails. I would like to adivse you that your requests are being combined as they are related.

Your request is considered vexatious and your request will not be processed further as permitted under s14 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000

Furthermore, Section 12 of the Act 2000 states that we are not obliged to process a request if “to comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit”. This limit is £450 as stated in the “The Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004” based and covers the cost of

(a) determining whether we hold the information,
(b) locating the information, or a document which may contain the information,

(d) extracting the information from a document containing it.

I have been advised that that to find the information requested would easily exceed the appropriate limit. Consequently this information would not be provided to you under normal circumstances and s14 was not engaged

This email acts as a refusal notice as required under the Act.

Dear University of Salford,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of University of
Salford's handling of my FOI request 'Salford Business School Art
Project'.

How could it possibly take more than 18 hours to find out how much
Salford Business School paid Arts & Business? Please explain how
you came to this conclusion.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,
