11KBW's Panopticon blog has a detailed post on this
http://www.panopticonblog.com/2012/04/25/subject-access-requests-–-mixed-motives-and-proportionate-searches/
I agree it tends to contradict the ICO's position. As the blog says, whether the ICO will alter that position in light of it remains to be seen.

Hi all,
Just happened across an interesting case looking at disproportionate effort in SAR searches - case reference 0LS50198 dated 24/04/2012, Keith Martin Elliott vs Lloyds TSB (etc).
Paragraph 17 of the transcript seems to me to be an overt contradiction of the ICO's well-known view that disproportionate effort only becomes an issue in SAR cases where the single act of supplying info to a data subject. Parag 17(3) in particular seems to cut straight through the (to me, at least) extremely narrow definition of 'supply' that the ICO has traditionally pinned his colours to.
Any thoughts?
Reggards,
Owen
