I myself have dealt with both types of SAR, in case of specific data
requests it is easier to collate the information quickly. I have however
always managed to get the job done within the maximum 40 day time scale even
when a data subject has asked for everything. The basic issue I think is
that the right of SAR is written to empower the individual and no the
institution, so if someone asks for everything and can't be persuaded
otherwise we have a duty to supply everything.

Subject: Re: SARs
My understanding is that if they ask for all personal data , then
that must be provided. Providing less is a matter of negotiation with the
particular individual. I have gone down the route of trying to get
applicants to focus on what it is they really want although this can be
tricky since often their application is part of some wider complaint.
