Ireland: High Court orders DPC to implement CJEU judgment

None of your business ('NOYB') announced, on 13 May 2021, that the Irish High Court had issued its decision outlining that the Irish Data Protection Commission ('DPC') had the right to open a second "own volition" inquiry against Facebook Ireland Ltd. In particular, NOYB highlighted that the DPC now has two open procedures to implement the Court of Justice of the European Union's ('CJEU') landmark judgment in Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited, Maximillian Schrems (C-311/18) ('the Schrems II Judgment') in which it held that Facebook may not transfer personal data from the EU to the US. Moreover, the decision outlines that the DPC must investigate the original 2013 complaint made by Mr Schrems and that it shall do so in parallel with the new investigation.
