Dear Ella,
I refer to your request of 5 July 2022.
Unfortunately, consultations necessary to make a decision on the request
are such that a response to the request cannot reasonably be given within
the original time limit. Accordingly, the University has extended the time
limit for your request until 16 August 2022 under section 15A(1)(b) of the
OIA. This is the new maximum time limit for the University’s response; we
will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
You have the right to make a complaint an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this extension.
Yours sincerely,
Landon Watt
