CBI yesterday responded to Google v Lloyd case.

Matthew Fell, CBI Chief Policy Director, yesterday said:

“The CBI welcomes this decision. Data is at the heart of modern business operations in sectors from logistics to financial services, and firms know how they treat customers’ data has a real impact on trust in technology.

“Introducing a US-style class action could have put a chill on investment and a detrimental impact on firms across the economy without improving access to justice for the majority of consumers.”
