It might "have to", but the OIC tend not to do anything if it isn't.
One company from which I made an SAR sent several thousand pages of
unintelligible database dumps. When I compained, the OIC told them to
provide it in an intelligible format. They did so for some of it, but
when I went back to the OIC detailing at least 50 things they still
hadn't explained, they told me that as none of this could be classed
as serious, and as the OIC have limited resources, they're not going to
take it any further.
