THE GREAT ESCAPE? LIABILITY OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES IN THE DATA PROTECTION AREA
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article is focused on the analysis of the liability of public authorities in the data protection area. Public authorities stand outside the spotlight of academics and politics in terms of liability considering the processing of personal data. Nevertheless, public authorities are often controllers of a vast amount of personal data via eGovernment services. Thus, this contribution is aimed to foster the discussion of liability issues concerning public authorities while processing personal data from the point of relevant international data protection legislation and national legislation on the liability of public authorities and its applicability in the data protection area.
