Is there any method short of stating that somebody is guilty of an offence? Is it possible to develop some process of change over time so that if someone declares it is reasonable not to accept a person's request now, they would be under some obligation to remove the vulnerability of the data protection system if that was the ground? Can we get to something that is more a case of evolving good practice rather than coming in with a sledgehammer? Where a policy is inadequate, can we use a nudging process rather than a black-and-white adjudication process?
