A data subject filed constitutional complaint because the AG Goslar (Goslar Local Court) denied his claims under Article 82 GDPR because of an unsolicited email. Because he only claimed 500 EUR as compensation, the Goslar Local Court was the regular last instance under German law. The Goslar Local Court denied the preliminary ruling from the CJEU. Was the Goslar Local Court obliged to hear the CJEU for a prelimary ruling? The judgment of the Goslar Local Court of 27 September 2019 - 28 C 7/19 - violates the complainant's fundamental right under Article 101(1) sentence 2 of the Basic Law. The judgment is set aside. The matter is referred back to the Goslar Local Court for a new hearing and decision. This renders the order of the Goslar Local Court of 11 November 2019 - 28 C 7/19 - irrelevant.
