Just catching up on my tweets and found an interesting post curated by “The Data Chain” an online paper (setup by me).
This interesting post: “Data protection in the Court of Appeal & the right to be forgotten” – not #GDPR-related – but will be significant post-GDPR era (from 25th May 2018 onwards).
The appeal cases extracted from the post are:
- DB v General Medical Council (application of mixed data provisions in s. 7 DPA) – due to be heard in March 2018,
- TLT v Home Office (accidental online disclosure of information relating to asylum seekers) – due to be heard in April 2018 – (note, the appeal does not address the quantum of the awards made in that case but instead focuses on the question of whether compensation ought in principle to have been awarded to individuals who were not referred to by name in the disclosed spreadsheet but who were nonetheless affected by the disclosure);
- Stunt v Associated Newspapers (challenge to the stay mechanism under s. 32 DPA) – due to be heard in June 2018 and, last but most certainly not least,
- Various Claimants v WM Morrison Supermarket PLC (group litigation data breach case) – due to be heard by the Court of Appeal before the end of 2018.
