In practice, the answer will be "it depends". We had a case where
following the receipt of approx 2000 pages, the data subject came back
to us several months later to point out there was stuff missing. Funnily
enough, it took us a bit more than 14 days to sort out the validity of
the assertion and track down what was missing !

Subject: [data-protection] SAR and compliance calendar days
Can anyone advise please?
When a SAR is completed and sent to the data subject they can reply that
they perhaps feel some data is missing, some data is wrong etc. How many
days do we have to put things right? I recently had a SAR and the
person wrote to say some data was missing and gave full details etc. so
no problem about locating it; but I was told that this had to be
completed within 14 days. Where did he get this from as I can't find
this rule in the Act?
thanks

p.s. also it seems that Schools have to respond within 15 days according
to discussions on the recent FOI list. Is this correct?
