Iceland: Persónuvernd granted permission to appeal case on municipality's data processing before Supreme Court
On April 17, 2024, the Icelandic data protection authority (Persónuvernd) announced that it had been granted permission by the Supreme Court to appeal case no. E-4081/2023, City of Reykjavík v. Personal Data Protection and the Icelandic state before the Supreme Court.
The Persónuvernd highlights that the Supreme Court held that the case is significant for the application and the interpretation of the law on personal protection and the processing of personal information. In addition, the Supreme Court considers that the case has an important precedential value as it would be the first time that a court would decide on the application of administrative fines by the Persónuvernd.
