General Court orders in Facebook interim measures actions
The General Court has published orders in Facebook’s challenges against information requests of the European Commission in its competition investigations into Facebook’s data practices.
The General Court has found that, due to the wide-ranging nature of the search terms used, it cannot be ruled out at this stage that the General Court will find that the measures do not comply with Article 18(3) of Regulation 1/2003.
The General Court held that Facebook had established the urgency of the need for interim measures as regards the disclosure of documents containing sensitive personal data.
The General Court decided that it was appropriate to provide for an ‘ad hoc’ procedure for the examination of documents likely to contain sensitive personal data and in the presence of Facebook’s lawyers.
