Thanks Susan,
The nature of the request I have received means that the vast amount of
effort is in the search and retrieval of information. With that in mind, is
there an appropriate limit for DPA? Has ther been any case law around this?
Thanks,
Stewart

disproportionate effort applies only in relation to provision of information
in PERMANENT form. There is no exemption on these grounds from the basic
obligation to provide data subjects with the information requested under DPA
s 7.
Where the personal information is category (e) data, introduced by the FOI
Act, the FOI cost limit applies. You can find out about the cost limit here:

Subject: [data-protection] Disproportionate Effort
Can anyone fill me in on what the most recent guidance on disproportionate
effort is for a DPA request?
Would it be defensible to use FOI guidelines?
What is the generally accepted reaction to a general "everything about or
referring to me" type of SAR for a public body?
I'd be extreeemely grateful for any advice or pointers to good information
sources.
Regards,
Stewart.
