Personal data: Skyrocketing lawsuits
Court cases related to personal data have increased from 138 in 2020 to double in 2021. This increase confirms a trend recorded since 2019, the year in which the Presidency of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the National Commission for the Control of Personal Data Protection (CNDP) signed a cooperation agreement. The prosecution received 60 cases since 2019, including ten in 2021, specifies its president. Hassan Daki refers to it in his latest activity report. The justice department can also intervene on its own initiative or investigate on the basis of a complaint.
