I agree that that is what the Act says, but its not in fact what the
High Court held in Eszias v Welsh Ministers last year. (I think the
court got the law wrong, but my view shouldn't stop the judgment being
used in a contested battle on SAR however. Until overruled, its binding
law).

Disproportionate effort does not unfortunately apply to the time it
takes to find and process a SAR. It only applies to the provision of the
information in hard copy form. If it would take too long to transcribe
etc into hard copy form then you are at liberty to argue
disproportionate effort and suggest it should be provided in another
form. You do still however have to provide.

Subject: [data-protection] Disproportionate Effort
Can anyone advise if they have used Disproportionate Effort in dealing
with an SAR.
We have had a request which will require a lot of effort and time
putting together all the information that the requester requires.
Has anyone used Disproportionate effort recently and what is an
unacceptable amount of time/effort spent in dealing with a lengthy
request?
Regards
Warren Whewell,
Information and Security Officer
