Hi Bev
We are getting more and more like this. I've been looking at the Elliott case (http://www.bllaw.co.uk/services_for_businesses/it,_comms_and_media/news_and_updates/subject_access_requests.aspx) as I think we really do need to get to the bottom of what we can refuse under a SAR once and for all. A large majority of ours are fishing expeditions for everything to try and find some evidence to help them in legal proceedings, it's not to check for accuracy, what the purpose is, who we are sharing with etc. How do you prove though that they only want it for litigation, and not for mixed motives?
I too would be very interested if anyone on here refuses if they think it's this sort of fishing expedition.
Lynn

Subject: [data-protection] Refusing a SAR for litigation purposes
Dear Colleagues,
We are currently dealing with a subject access request however Human Resources are hesitant about disclosing the information as they feel it will be used to pursue a claim against the University. Has anyone come across anything similar to this and refused a SAR for such purposes?
Thank you
