Data Protection Litigation in the UK

By Patrick O’Kane

Data Protection Litigation in the UK: An Introduction is a practical guide to the fast-evolving field of privacy litigation. With the rise of data breaches, misuse of personal information, and complex regulatory frameworks, UK courts are increasingly handling high-stakes privacy 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:

- An overview of UK data litigation and its legal foundations
- DSARs and individual data rights
- Security breaches and compensation claims
- Privacy and misuse of private information cases
- Data transfer disputes and lawful basis challenges

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.
