It does seem to say that you can deliberately design a manual information
system so that it is still just about usable, but completely inaccessible to
the Data Subject. Fair enough, subject access is not designed to give
people access to material that doesn't concern them; equally it should not
be designed to allow material to be deliberately kept from them. What we
need now is another court case that clarifies this.
