IJE / IBJ for a Deep Dive on the GDPR - 1 Year Later

Event | 05.24.19, 9:00 AM UTC - 1:30 PM UTC

Address

Crowell & Moring
Rue Joseph Stevens 7, B-1000 Brussels

On May 25, 2019, we will celebrate the first birthday of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are proud to invite you to our seminar with special guest speaker Mr. David Stevens, the newly appointed Chairman of the Belgian Data Protection Authority, who will shed light on the implementation of the GDPR from the point of view of the Authority.


During this Deep Dive we will also lead a discussion and exchange of experiences from the company standpoint: What has happened since May 25, 2018? How do companies and data subjects deal with their various rights and obligations in practice? What issues do companies struggle with and what are the questions they ask their lawyers? What did the regulators do? How did our digital lives change? Is our data now truly better protected than before? 


Specific topics will include:

  • Frequent debates about basic concepts: making the distinction between “controller”, “joint controller” and “processor” is not always straightforward in practice.
  • Vendor management issues, including data processing agreement negotiations.
  • Evolutions in consent options for direct marketing.
  • GDPR enforcement across Europe?
  • Recurring topics in discussions about HR privacy.
  • Managing GDPR in an international environment.

To conclude, we will also take a look at the possible future of the GDPR.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
