I am interested in this area also. I processed a SAR provided, a list of the
items to the individual with use and format details. The Data Subject then
requested copies of them all and we provided a 100+ items running to several
pages (which all had to be anonymised). The individual then came back again
to indicate that we were "thin" in our response and graciously indicated
that we should try again and gave us another 21 days. Having done the second
search we have found 4 small items. I know the stage will be another
complaint!!
We are erring on the side of a vexatious individual!

Can anyone help?
I received a SAR quite some time ago and provided what I thought was all the
personal information. As I work with a local authority and have DPLOs
sometimes things can be missed (not intentionally). This person received
letters in the SAR (copies of letters he had already received) before his
SAR and would know exactly what they were. Do I have to explain letters to
him? He has sent in a letter complaiing to me to explain them but he knows
exactly what they are. This is his second letter of complaint (2 page
letter) Do I have to explain codes & abbreviations prior to October 1998?
To be quite honest, how much time do we have to spend on SARs as this
request has considerably gone beyond the allocated £10 fee and basically the
person knows what he is doing - he knows what the codes mean etc ...I have
already had one letter of complaint from him and sent other information
which we had not known existed at the time of the original request.
This person works in the computer section and has several User UIds -
dependent on which system he is using - do we have to provid these as these
he uses every day in the course of his work. Please can someone come up
with any ideas?
