Belgian Data Protection Authority (DPA) announced, on 8 May 2019, that the Brussels Court of Appeal issued its judgment in relation to the DPA’s proceedings against Facebook, Inc., following the pleading of the parties to the Court on 27 and 28 March 2019.

DPA highlighted that the Court did not rule on the merits of the case and decided to refer it to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to be assessed in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) seeking to ensure that the DPA can pursue the case against Facebook.
