\"ImageThe university at the centre of the climate change row over stolen e-mails broke the law by refusing to hand over its raw data for public scrutiny. <\/p>\n

The University of East Anglia breached the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to comply with requests for data concerning claims by its scientists that man-made emissions were causing global warming. <\/p>\n

The Information Commissioner\u2019s Office decided that UEA failed in its duties under the Act but said that it could not prosecute those involved because the complaint was made too late, The Times has learnt. The ICO is now seeking to change the law to allow prosecutions if a complaint is made more than six months after a breach. <\/p>\n

The stolen e-mails , revealed on the eve of the Copenhagen summit, showed how the university\u2019s Climatic Research Unit attempted to thwart requests for scientific data and other information, and suggest that senior figures at the university were involved in decisions to refuse the requests. It is not known who stole the e-mails. <\/p>\n
