Oh yes they will, sadly!
At best (worst) all they will get is a very minor slap on the wrist for failing to properly comply with the SAR. In no way does that stop them magically "finding" a misplaced file if it suddenly becomes in their interest to do so.
If they fail to disclose information required as part of a court or tribunal process then that is slightly more serious but sadly it still happens far too often. The likely penalties (as opposed to the theoretical ones) are often not enough to deter it from happening.0 -
