Abstract: This paper is about the decision of the European Court in Weltimmo. The case concerns a company’s data protection obligations where it conducts services in a country other than where the company has its main business headquarters. This is an important decision as it will potentially affect many businesses, as they will be held accountable to that country’s regulation by their data protection agency. This decision and its implications should also be looked at further in light of the developments made by the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
