Paul,
1. You still have to process the SAR. Getting subject in and showing them the data should cover you.
2. Would be interested in which section your colleagues would use as a defence! Some LGA's do use a SAR form with tick boxes for areas of particular relevance to the subject. This is not a legal requirement but can be helpful in reducing open-ended requests.

Good Afternoon
Thanks to all those that responded given me an alternative product to easy
i. The next question is two fold really it has came about by statements
that I ghave heard made by other DP officers.
1. Disproportionate Effort is often used as a reason for not complying with
a data subject request, however I though that section 7(1)(c0 only refers to
the fact of supplying the data in a permanent form, NOT to stop a request,
any thoughts?
2. Open ended requests are often refused by collegues of mine i.e. "supply
me with all the data the council holds on me". If people are using this as
a defence not to conduct a SAR what areas of the act are they relying upon?
Any help?
