Good afternoon,

I refer to your request for access to documents under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 as follows:

“I request the letter sent from the university legal team to the following
people:

- Millan Pintos Lopez

- Liz Allen”

As a result of searches conducted, two documents have been identified as
relevant to your request. Upon review, it has been determined that these
documents refers to personal information of third parties. Accordingly,
the University is required to consult with that third party (under section
27A of the FOI Act) before making a decision on the release of the
documents.

The consultation mechanism under section 27A applies when we believe the
third parties concerned might reasonably wish to contend that the
requested documents are exempt or partially exempt because their release
would disclose the personal information of those third parties.

Accordingly, the period for processing your request has been extended by a
further 30 days in order to allow our agency time to consult with those
third parties concerned.

The processing period for your request will now end on Saturday 11 October
2025, and you can expect to receive a decision no later than Monday 13
October 2025.

Please note that this is a maximum timeframe, and the University still
aims to respond to your request for access as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

FOI Team
