The Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the EU issued an opinion that could restrict the right to claim non‑material damages under the GDPR. The opinion questions whether Article 82 allows damages without material loss and suggests member states could set higher thresholds. The final CJEU judgment is expected in the coming months.
Why it matters: The opinion threatens a key enforcement tool for GDPR privacy rights, potentially reducing compensation for data‑protection violations.
