Following the conference in June 2024, the anthology ‘Private Enforcement im Digitalen Binnenmarkt’, co-edited by Sebastian Schwamberger and Tabea Bauermeister and generously supported by the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, has now been published by Mohr Siebeck (both softcover (external link, opens in a new window) and open access (external link, opens in a new window)).
The anthology deals with the challenges of private enforcement of the more recent European Digital Legal Acts: Although the European legislator has enacted numerous, interlocking Acts for the Digital Single Market (e.g. the Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act, the Data Act, the General Data Protection Regulation and the AI Regulation), they display very different, and in some cases no rules on private enforcement. Notwithstanding, similar questions arise, e.g. about a possible European concept of damages, collective enforcement or the conflict of laws. The 13 authors address these issues from an overall perspective, analysing and comparing solutions within the different acts.
