Dear All,
An applicant makes a request in 2012. A very broad request SAR. At the same time, they make particular SAR. Discussions ensue. The result is a SAR response that covers the particular SAR.

There is no immediate evidence that the general SAR was addressed.

The applicant does not chase the broad SAR. 

In the meantime, the applicant puts in other particular SARs. Responses sent.

Two years later (2014) applicant reminds council that the 2012 SAR has not been answered.

Is there a time limit for SARs? I would have thought that if the applicant had not chased it within 6 months of it going overdue, it was never logged as it was caught up in the particular SARs, but no immediate emails disclose that as some of the work was done by telephone.

What is your approach to this issue?

Thanks

Lawrence
