The High Court Judgement found in favour of our client Mr Doolin and held that his employers, Our Lady\u2019s Hospice and Care Services (\u201cOLHCS\u201d) had breached his data protection rights pursuant to Section 2(1)(c) of the Data Protection Acts 1988-2018 when they collected and processed CCTV Recordings in contravention of the Hospice\u2019s Data Protection Policy.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time the Superior Courts in Ireland have held that our client\u2019s data protection rights were infringed by his employers and it represents a significant victory not only for our client, but also for other Data Subjects particularly in connection with the monitoring of employees in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>The Decision highlights the need for Employers to exercise caution when monitoring employees in the workplace. Employers should review their Data Protection Policy to ensure that they are processing employee personal data in accordance with their obligations under the GDPR and the Data Protection Acts 1988-2018.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to read the Court of Appeal Judgement, please click on the below link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-IECA-117-Doolin-v-The-Data-Protection-Commissioner.docx\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u017dao nam je, ne postoji prijevod na raspolaganju za ovaj proizvod jo\u0161 English.
