Courts, Privacy and Data Protection in the Digital Environment

Edited by Maja Brkan, Faculty of Law, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands and Evangelia Psychogiopoulou, Senior Research Fellow, Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), Greece

Through critical analysis of case law in European and national courts, this book reveals the significant role courts play in the protection of privacy and personal data within the new technological environment. It addresses the pressing question from a public who are increasingly aware of their privacy rights in a world of continual technological advances – namely, what can I do if my data privacy rights are breached?

‘With the attention given in recent years to reform of the European legislative framework for privacy and data protection, the crucial role of the courts has sometimes been neglected. This important book fills this gap by providing authoritative and insightful commentary by a team of renowned scholars on the jurisprudence of European and national courts relating to privacy and data protection, particularly in the digital environment. It will be of great interest to anyone working in this field.’
