Lloyd v Google – A billion-pound judgment that will affect all businesses

data center

The Supreme Court has comprehensively dismissed Mr Lloyd’s representative (opt-out) action brought against Google in connection with the Safari Workaround. This is a hugely significant decision.

In this webinar, we consider the reasons for that decision and look at what the future holds for privacy class actions. In particular:

  • What is the likely impact on the other pending privacy class actions?
  • What is the wider mood music for data breach claims following the decisions in Warren and Rolfe?
  • Mr Lloyd’s claim was under the Data Protection Act 1998 but is there still the potential to bring representative actions under the GDPR?
  • Do Group Litigation Orders (opt-in class actions) provide a realistic alternative to representative actions?
  • What are the practical steps businesses should take to manage litigation risk in the event of a data breach?
