A recent Court of Justice of the European Union
(CJEU) ruling concerning a business-to-business
(B2B) postal marketing case has found that a
controller cannot avoid liability for compensation under the GDPR
by simply relying on the negligence or fault of someone acting
under its authority. Echoing the Austrian Post Case (see here), the CJEU also determined that an
infringement of data subject rights, in itself, is insufficient to
constitute "non-material damage" under the GDPR.
