NLJ this week: Data leaks―what are the limits to litigation?

75716

How do the courts treat low-level data protection claims, inadvertent leaks, and third-party access to personal data? 

In this week’s NLJ, Fergus McCombie of 36 Commercial, surveys the parameters of caselaw concerning data protection.

McCombie explores the limits from the Supreme Court’s ruling last year that no damages are payable for mere loss of control to a claimant who alleges data protection breaches of child users and account holders by Tik Tok. ‘In the meantime,’ he writes, ‘the courts have been doing their best to put nuisance claims firmly in their procedural place’.
