The case concerns the interpretation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Directive (EU) 2016/680 (JI Directive) in the context of court proceedings concerning administrative offences (Ordnungswidrigkeiten). The referring court seeks clarification on which legal framework governs claims for non-material damages caused by violations of the right of access to personal data, specifically in cases where a court, in the course of a fine proceeding, fails to provide timely or complete information about the processing of personal data. The core issue is whether the GDPR or the JI Directive applies, and whether mere uncertainty caused by a lack of access already constitutes immaterial damage triggering compensation.
