Dear Mr Seaman,
Re: Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 – Request for Information
Thank you for your email which was received by the University on 4 November 2011 timed
07:44 hours, requesting the following information:
“Could you please send me copies of all email correspondence relating to the Student
Lifecycle Project or MyCampus sent or received by David Newall since 1st May 2011?
Please include all attachments.”
University’s Response
The University has estimated that the cost of responding to your request will exceed the fee
limit as set out in the Freedom of Information (Fees for Required Disclosure) (Scotland)
Regulations 2004. As a result, we are not obliged to provide a response. The fee limit set
down by the Regulations is £600, and in this instance this equates to a combination of staff
time capped at a rate of £15 per hour plus the reproduction of documents at the rate of 10p
per A4 sheet. It is estimated that in order to reproduce the information requested would
exceed the prescribed cost limit of £600.
Please be advised that a modified request will be given due consideration. Any modification
of your request will be treated as a new request for the purposes of the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
The supply of documents under the terms of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
does not give the applicant or whoever receives the information any right to re-use it in such a
way that might infringe the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (for example, by making
multiple copies, publishing or otherwise distributing the information to other individuals and the
public). The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (Consequential Modifications) Order
2004 ensured that Section 50 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (“CDPA”)
applies to the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (“FOISA”).
