In a statement, Meghan said: “After two long years of pursuing litigation, I am grateful to the courts for holding Associated Newspapers and the Mail on Sunday to account for their illegal and dehumanising practices. The European Commission in 2012 released a draft European Data Protection Regulation that would supersede the EU Data Protection Directive. The law allows EU citizens to submit requests to search engines to have personal information delinked from the results of searching their name. The Federal Court of Australia found that Google misled some users about the personal location data it collected through Android devices between January 2017 and December 2018. Essentially, whilst it might have been proportionate to disclose and publish a very small part of the Letter to rebut inaccuracies in the People Article, it was not necessary to deploy half the contents of the Letter as Associated Newspapers did. As the Articles themselves demonstrate, and as the judge found, the primary purpose of the Articles was not to publish Mr Markle’s responses to the inaccurate allegations against him in the People Article. The true purpose of the publication was, as the first 4 lines of the Articles said: to reveal for the first time [to the world] the “[t]he full content of a sensational letter written by [the Duchess] to her estranged father shortly after her wedding”. The contents of the Letter were private when it was written and when it was published, even if the claimant, it now appears, realised that her father might leak its contents to the media.” [106]

Representative actions of this kind seeking damages are not appropriate for claims of this nature, and whilst these remain possible (i.e. by seeking a declaration of liability, including a declaration that any member of the represented class who has suffered damage by reason of the breach is entitled to be paid compensation, with damages then being assessed individually at a later stage), the scope for bringing such claims has now been reduced. This July, British Airways (“ BA”) settled its long-running class action dispute with a number of the 420,000 people affected by a 2018 data breach. The settlement terms remain confidential, although we do know that: (a) compensation has been paid to qualifying claimants; and (b) no admission of liability on the part of BA is included. Whether the Court of Appeal erred in failing to hold that the claimants were entitled to a remedy in the tort of private nuisance by reason of the Tate Modern’s use of the top floor of its Blavatnik Building as a viewing platform. Facts Attempts to ‘augment’ what should be a clear claim for breach of data protection law with various other heads of claim are less likely to be successful.HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, was created to streamline the flow of healthcare information, protect Personally Identifiable Information maintained by the healthcare and health insurance industries from theft and fraud, and deal with limitations on health insurance coverage. Also known as the Kennedy-Kassebaum Act, it was put in place by the 104th United States Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton. Confirmation that representatives are not liable for breaches by the data controller or data processor and remedies should be sought directly. The Appellants seek an injunction requiring the Tate to prevent its visitors from viewing their flats from the viewing platform, or alternatively, an award of damages. Their claim is based on the common law of nuisance. Judgment appealed Bloomberg had argued that the general public understands that reporting the existence of a criminal investigation into an individual does not mean they are necessarily guilty of a criminal offence. However, the supreme court ruled that even revealing the existence of a criminal inquiry would affect aspects of an individual’s private life such as “the right to establish and develop relationships with other people”.

Care is needed to ensure representative agreements are drafted appropriately and that parties understand the specific and limited responsibilities of the representative. Also expected to impact the allocation of claims involving “trivial” breaches of data protection legislation, as the court made clear that the High Court was not the appropriate forum for these (see also Warren v DSG Retail Ltd above). A friend of Kaye had been granted an interlocutory injunction preventing the editor (Anthony Robertson) and the Sunday Sport from using the material; they appealed.
Warby said there would be a further hearing in March to decide the next steps in the legal action. Meghan’s data protection claim is still outstanding. This case concerned whether representatives appointed under Article 27 of the GDPR (“ Representatives”) can be held liable for the breach of the respective data controller. The Court found that, in providing the option, “Don’t save my Location History in my Google Account”, represented to some reasonable consumers that they could prevent their location data being saved on their Google Account. In actual fact, users need to change an additional setting, separate, to stop their location data being saved to their Google Account. The Tate Modern opened an extension in 2016 called the Blavatnik Building. The Blavatnik building is ten stories high and, on its top floor, has a viewing platform which offers panoramic views of London. The Appellants own flats neighbouring the Tate Modern which are of a similar elevation to the Blavatnik building and whose walls are mainly made of glass. On the southside of the viewing platform, visitors to the Tate can see directly into the flats of the Appellants.

The court held for the defendant that no such liability existed, as (a) the GDPR would have referred to ‘representative liability’“ more clearly in its operative provisions” had it intended to impose this, (b) Representatives do not have power over controllers or processors “ on a day to day basis over how and why data are processed”, and (c) the European Data Protection Board (“ EDPB”) guidelines state Representatives are “ not responsible for complying with data subject rights”. As such, the remedies sought could only be obtained directly from WorldCo. It should be noted that claimant has been granted permission to appeal and so this verdict may change in the future. In 2017, the Economist found that half of the world’s countries scored lower for democracy than the previous year, mainly because of the erosion of confidence in government and public institutions. In alignment with this, according to the Director Journal, in 2017, the 28th Governor General of Canada articulated the growing and “disturbing” global pattern of mistrust in institutions, finding for the first time in the same year that less than half of Canadians trust their government, business, media, non-governmental organizations, and their leaders. The Court agreed that limb one was met on the facts. However, the Court found that Mr Peters did not have a reasonable expectation of protection from disclosure of this information within MSD and from MSD to the relevant Ministers and select staff. As the claimant could not prove that any of defendants had released information to the media. The appeal was dismissed. The case affirmed the removal of the requirement for there to be widespread disclosure and the potential for the removal of the requirement that disclosure be highly offensive. A case concerning “the lawfulness” immigration exemption found in paragraph 4 of Schedule 2 of the Data Protection Act 2018. This exemption allows those processing personal data for immigration control purposes to refuse to comply with the data subject rights guaranteed by the GDPR to the extent that complying with those provisions would prejudice those purposes. The Court of Appeal found that this exemption was not compliant with Article 23 of the GDPR.Data persistence – data existing longer than the human subjects that created it, driven by low data storage costs Hamblen and Stephens continued: “Reputational and other harm will ordinarily be caused to the individual by the publication of such information. In 1991, revisions were made to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Title 45 CFR 46 (Public Welfare) Subparts A, B, C and D. Subpart A, known as The Common Rule, is an updated version of a 1981 rule of ethics in the United States concerning biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects. It was adopted by Institutional Review Boards for oversight of human research and is the standard of ethics guiding all government funded (and most non government funded) research in the U.S. The regulation was last updated in 2018. In the judgment written by Lord Hamblen and Lord Stephens, they said: “For some time, judges have voiced concerns as to the negative effect on an innocent person’s reputation of the publication that he or she is being investigated by the police or an organ of the state.”
