The Court of Appeal rules in favour of the Data Protection Commission (DPC), granting them the costs of interlocutory motions in both the Court of Appeal and the High Court. This decision follows the dismissal of applications to adjourn or stay proceedings pending the outcome of related European Data Protection Board litigation. The Court of Appeal found the DPC to be "entirely successful" in defending against the interlocutory motions, rejecting arguments that the DPC had not prevailed on a distinct issue during the proceedings. The court emphasised that the DPC's conduct, including its willingness to make concessions for efficient case management, was in line with its role in the administration of justice.
