GDPR: Decisions, decisions
GDPR: Decisions, decisions...
29th January 2020
Our 2020 events kicked off with Ian Beeby, of 10 King’s Bench Walk, presenting “GDPR: Decisions, decisions… and their implications for businesses” on 29th January at Fried Frank’s offices. The event was very well attended by both long-standing BACFI members and many new members.
Introduced by James Kitching, Partner at Fried Frank, Ian Beeby spoke about how we were now getting decisions from the different Data Protection regulators across the EU and decided cases, giving us an insight as to how regulators are acting and the Courts in different countries are interpreting GDPR in each state, It was interesting to note that in some countries such as Sweden, their regulator was taking a much more proactive stance in compliance rather than waiting for complaints to come through. We are also seeing the level of fines being imposed, helping us to quantify what the real costs of non-compliance and data breach could likely to be. The flesh is finally being put on the bare bones of the regulations!
Ian Brookes-Howells, Chair of BACFI, gave thanks to Ian and also to Fried Frank for their hospitality in providing the venue and refreshments. Drinks and networking followed and the general opinion was that it was an excellent event. Slides can be found HERE.
