Webcast
More than four years have passed since the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR also introduced a basis for affected persons to claim compensation for material/immaterial damage for data protection violations. Our panel from Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and Austria will look at how courts within Europe have been dealing with the new rules and damage claims. Could there be potential for mass claims and/or class actions? We’ll discuss:
- Legal basics of compensation claims relating to data protection law violations.
- Developments in legal services markets: mass claim service providers at the gates?
- How courts in Germany, UK, Italy and Austria deal with respective damages claims, especially the potential of mass claims/class actions in this context.
- Corporate defense options against potential mass actions.
Learn more about the newest developments - potential threats as well as defence possibilities.
