I seem to recall that the ICO's current line differentiates between the
sole trader operating from an address and the individual of the same
name living at that address - basically if you want to operate as a sole
trader then, as such, your name and address are in the public domain
anyway.

Mind you: a court following Durant might disagree with the ICO guidance
you quote below (written pre Durant of course).
Why should information (such as, "not particularly good") about a
business run as a sole trader with two personnel (proprietor plus one
employee) be personal when the same information about a partnership of
two (and no employees) not be personal?

As I see it. Sole traders and non-limited partnerships are individuals.
However the information captured by the SAR would have to relate to the
individual i.e. an individual could be identified by the info and any
other info) otherwise it's not personal data. In respect of the other
partner(s) consent would be required from him/her or an accompanying
SAR.
ICO legal guidance (Section 2.2.1) states: -
Information about the business of a sole trader will amount to personal
data as information about the business will be about the sole trader.
Information about
an individual in a partnership will be personal data if it relates to a
specific partner.
This will be more likely in a small partnership.

I understand that sole traders are subject to the DP Act. What happens
to partnerships whcih are not limited companies and run a business and
one of them makes a SAR on behalf of himself and the business ?
