As regulators get to grip with their increased powers and, with higher penalties at stake, organisations who are the subject of enforcement action may wish to challenge them in their national courts. Increased scrutiny of data privacy practices also continues to drive a surge in private complaints and potential litigation actions (including class actions) against organisations.
In this global webinar, our data protection lawyers across our APAC network will:
- compare and contrast developments in their jurisdictions and discuss what organisations can expect from the next 5 years of data litigation.
- guide you through recent significant disputes in Australia, China, Hong Kong and Singapore and offer insights into how this area of litigation is likely to develop further.
- consider key legal challenges to enforcement action, lessons learned and give informed predictions on the future direction of travel.
