Schrems gets a judicial review of the Irish DPC’s procedure
European privacy campaigner Max Schrems has been granted a judicial review of the Irish regulator’s handling of his complaint.
He’s expecting the hearing to take place before the end of the year — and is hoping the action will, at long last, lead to a suspension of Facebook’s EU-US data transfers.
Schrems says his aim is to “kick start a ‘paused’ complaints procedure’” after Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) chose to open a new case procedure last month — simultaneously pausing its handling of his original complaint, which dates back some seven years at this point.
