The Contentious World of Data Privacy: where are we now?
Written By
Back in 2021 we ran our first global webinar on contentious data privacy, at a time when litigation arising out of GDPR was rapidly emerging but in most European jurisdictions remained in its infancy. Significant challenges to enforcement action were also still thin on the ground.
As we approach the 5th anniversary of the introduction of the GDPR, we delivered a global webinar on 10 May 2023 where our team of data privacy experts provided an update on how regulatory enforcement challenges and GDPR-related civil litigation have fared since then.
Our data protection lawyers across our European network compared and contrasted developments in their jurisdictions and discussed what organisations can expect from the next 5 years of GDPR- related litigation.
Key themes explored were:
- Vulnerabilities of regulators which enable successful enforcement challenges;
- The role of the CJEU in regulatory litigation;
- The interaction between challenges to enforcement action and associated litigation risk;
- Decisions on damages claims and how they help/hinder potential litigants;
- The growth of consumer class actions in various jurisdictions;
- The likely impact of the EU’s Representative Actions Directive.
