Description

Data Protection Litigation in the UK: An Introduction is a practical guide to the fast-evolving field of data protection litigation. With the rise of data breaches, misuse of personal information, and complex regulatory frameworks, UK courts are increasingly handling high-stakes data cases. This book provides a clear and structured overview of the main types of litigation arising under UK data protection law.

It covers five key areas:
· A refresher on the UK Data Protection Framework
· Examination of the different types of data protection litigation
· Quantum and costs in data claims
· Related causes of action including Misuse of Private Information
· Group claims

Each chapter examines landmark cases, identifies key legal issues, and offers practical tips for litigators, in-house counsel, and compliance professionals.

The book is designed to help readers understand not just the law, but how it is applied in practice-what arguments succeed, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to prepare for litigation.

Whether you're advising clients, managing risk, or responding to claims, this book is useful.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.
