Mr. Max Schrems:

The majority of cases are very simple. I made an access request and did not get an answer. There is not much legal knowledge needed to decide such a case. Most data protection authorities work with a digital system here, as far as I am aware, so there is a case management system that escalates stuff the right way. Usually, for example, in Austria we work with textblocks on that because these decisions are all the same and one saves time for important stuff by getting quick decisions, although they are of high quality because these textblocks are reviewed by lawyers.

Everybody knows that they are accurate and that the courts have upheld them, so they are reused over and over again. That is how hundreds of decisions can be produced with very little need for oversight. There is very little need for later litigation if the quality is good at the beginning.
