The High Court has given a judgment in the first representative action brought under Article 80 UK GDPR.
The judgment concerns a claim brought by the Good Law Project against Reform, on behalf of various individuals who submitted data subject access requests in the run-up to the last general election. The claim alleges that Reform's responses to the requests were both late and substantively deficient.
Reform applied for the claim to be struck out on the basis of allegations that (among other things) the Good Law Project does not satisfy the criteria to bring a representative action under Article 80 UK GDPR and/or that the claim is an abuse of process.
Murray J dismissed Reform’s application and held that the claim should proceed to trial.
George Molyneaux acted for the Good Law Project (led by Andrew Sharland KC of 11 KBW), instructed by Pallas Partners LLP.
The judgment is available here.
