High Court reserves judgement on Facebook data-privacy case

A High Court judge will rule later on exactly what questions and information she should put before the Court of Justice of the EU for its consideration of the validity or otherwise of European Commission decisions approving EU-US data transfer channels.

Ms Justice Caroline Costello has heard four days of submissions from the Data Protection Commissioner, Facebook, Austrian lawyer Max Schrems, the US government and others concerning what should be before the CJEU.
