Continual delays in processing requests has led the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office to issue an enforcement notice against the Ministry of Justice (MOJ). Because of last month’s notice, the MOJ must clear up the delays and come up with an approach that will allow for quicker responses for individuals seeking information about themselves regarding data protection.
Specifically, a November 2017 report said there were 793 cases which were over 40 days old. This is compared to the backlog of 919 subject access requests, as of July 28, 2017, some of which dated back to 2012.
