flag Denis O'Brien lost his High Court appeal over the DPC's rejection of his 2020 data request, as a judge upheld a PR firm's right to withhold information for legal privilege.

flag Denis O’Brien has lost his High Court appeal against the Data Protection Commission’s dismissal of his 2020 complaint over a PR firm’s refusal to disclose information about him. flag The firm, Red Flag, withheld data citing legal privilege and client confidentiality during ongoing litigation. flag Judge Siobhán Lankford upheld the DPC’s decision, ruling O’Brien failed to prove any of his claims, including that Section 60 of the Data Protection Act 2018 conflicted with GDPR or that the DPC acted improperly. flag She affirmed the firm’s right to withhold information to protect legal privilege and confidentiality, and indicated O’Brien may be ordered to pay legal costs, though a one-month stay was granted for further argument.
