p class=\"MsoNormal\"The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruling in Case C-621/22 provides certainty regarding the possibility to qualifying commercial interests as legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The CJEU enumerates the criteria that must be fulfilled and confirms that direct marketing falls under the notion of legitimate interest. The decision was published simultaneously with the new guidelines of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), which aim to provide further guidance to data controllers on how to assess in practice if a data controller’s interests constitute legitimate interests under the GDPR and can therefore justify the processing of personal data.o:p/o:p

This article analyses the main standards and regulations put in place by the European Union (EU) and the Council of Europe with respect to the privacy and personal data protection of workers. It demonstrates that there is a current tendency toward the establishment of specific rules aimed at strengthening employees’ rights vis-à-vis employers’ interests. It also shows that there is a preventive rather than a reactive approach in the European model. However, this article argues that, albeit strongly influenced by Europe, the Mexican legal framework on personal data protection does not follow this trend, due to legislative asymmetries between the public and private sector, as well as the lack of specific regulation in this field.

The relationship between data protection law and antitrust law is – also and especially with regard to undertakings with a dominant position in the market of digital economy (i.e. big tech companies) – with good reason a highlighted subject of legislation and case law, legal practice and research activities. This article examines whether and to what extent the antitrust law-concept of market power may have effects in the fields of data protection law. The very elements of lawfulness laid down in Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which are decisive for the lawful processing of personal data, are used as a reference for this purpose.

The article focuses on the “legitimate interest in performance” requirement which is now at the heart of the new test on penalty clauses but which has been left undefined by the Supreme Court in Cavendish Square Holding BV v Talal El Makdessi and ParkingEye Ltd v Beavis [2016]. It seeks to bring clarity to what is meant by “legitimate interest in performance” by examining other areas of the law of remedies for breach of contract where concepts of legitimate interest have featured in the court’s reasoning. It also makes suggestions as to what considerations are or might be relevant in determining whether a contracting party has a legitimate interest in performance, in particular a legitimate interest that goes beyond compensation.

The activities of financial agents deserve our attention as we can currently observe their growing share on the intermediation of financial services. The quantity of products and services offered by financial market segments requires a continuous education and the monitoring of the current legislation. Financial agents help their clients to find a financial product, which fulfills their specific needs. The client´s decision depends on the extent of the information a financial agent provides to him. The legislator imposes an obligation to act when performing financial intermediation in compliance with the principles of fair business relations, with professional care and in the interest of rights and legitimate interests of a client. However, the legislation does not define these terms. This paper aims to outline and analyze procedures in order to perform financial intermediation in accordance with regulatory requirements.

This chapter will argue that the disability rights (DR) movement has a much lower level of acceptance than other civil rights movements, especially within the academy. This is true even though the other movements are regarded (at least by disability rights advocates) as similar in nature. By “within the academy” I mean within the discourses, formal and informal, of professional academicians: professors and other intellectuals and their students. I will try to demonstrate by example that positions held by the DR movement are summarily rejected by many within the academy, even though similar positions are unquestioningly endorsed when stated by advocates of women’s rights and “racial” or ethnic civil rights. My claim is not that women’s rights and racial civil rights are genuinely supported within the academy. Racism and sexism still exist, and have serious negative effects. However, racism and sexism are almost never openly endorsed in today’s academic discourse. The mismatch between discourse and practice is regrettable. However (I suggest) if practice matched discourse, minorities and women would have very nearly equal rights with majorities and men within the academy. Disabled people would still not have equal rights with nondisabled people. Basic DR principles are rejected not only in practice but also in discourse.
