Data protection

Council adopts new EU regulation to speed-up cross-border EU GDPR complaints

The Council of the EU has formally approved legislation intended to improve and accelerate the handling of cross-border data protection complaints under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EU GDPR). The regulation harmonises criteria for complaint admissibility, reinforces the procedural rights of complainants and organisations under scrutiny, and introduces a simplified co-operation route for straightforward cases to lessen administrative burden. It also imposes binding deadlines, with most investigations to conclude within 15 months, extendable by a further 12 months for complex matters, and within 12 months for simplified procedures. With the Council’s adoption, the file completes the legislative process, entering into force 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the EU and applying 15 months later, strengthening consistent and efficient enforcement of data protection rules across the EU.

It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
