First court case affected by Schrems II – further legal uncertainty ahead

For the first time in Europe, a case relating to the "Schrems II" judgment was brought before a higher court, namely the Conseil d’ État (French Supreme Administrative Court). Remarkably, the French data protection authority originally had a different view on the case compared to that of the court itself. This creates legal uncertainty across Europe about the scope of the Schrems II judgement.
