New article out with Katie Nolan (@katieanolan.bsky.social) and Orla Lynskey in the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies: 'Digital Empire or Digital Fiefdoms? Institutional Tensions and the EU Right to Data Protection'. Open access at: doi.org/10.1017/cel.... @cambup-law.cambridge.org

Abstract: The EU has been represented as a singular ‘Digital Empire’ speaking with one voice on matters of EU digital
regulation. Closer examination of discrete areas of EU digital regulation reveals a more nuanced picture
suggesting clear institutional divergence between the EU institutions regarding the substantive protection
afforded by EU law. A detailed analysis of EU data protection adequacy decisions brings to the surface
intra-EU tensions concerning the substance of core EU fundamental rights. This analysis reveals that the
EU Commission has taken on a more prominent role in adequacy decision-making since the entry into force
of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation at the expense of other relevant stakeholders. Furthermore,
the Commission’s decisional practice does not align fully with the stance of the Court of Justice on the right
to data protection. New sites of intra-EU human rights tensions are therefore uncovered with consequences
for the legitimacy of the EU as a digital regulator and the role of the Commission as a guardian of the treaties.Keywords: digital regulation; fundamental rights; data protection; institutional balance; judicial review; data adequacy;

How should legal education respond to AI? Together with 11 UCL Laws colleagues, this paper is our vision for the sector. It's rooted in academic integrity, fundamental competences, and concerns around impacts on learning to learn and intellectual risk taking. (🧵) discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10...

Incredible new resource by Miloš Novović, an associate professor of law at BI Norwegian Business School - gdpred.milos.no. Miloš has gathered on this website GDPR cases organized by year, topic, and article. Hugely useful tool!

Only 0.6 percent of DPC fines under the GDPR reportedly collected. The rest subject to litigation. Important piece of the data protection enforcement story. www.irishtimes.com/business/202...
