General Data Protection Regulation & Brexit | Data Protection Lawyer
On 20 April 2017, Gough Square Chambers held a conference on the potential impact of Brexit on consumer law. Members of chambers considered a number of issues including an overview of current white papers, impact of food law, unfair commercial practices, and consumer credit.
Jeremy Barnett spoke about the impact of the General Data Protection Regulation that comes into force in the UK on 2th May 2018. As Brexit is currently scheduled for the end of March 2019, the question arises what will happen if this new EU Directive no longer applies in the UK.
The new General Data Protection Regulation, follows the EU Directive 95/46/EC adopted in 1995.
