GDPR Articles Cited
National Law Articles
The controller is accused of violating the provision of Article 8 of ZVOP-1 because the responsible person obtained personal data of vehicle owners or users in contravention of Article 10 of ZOdv. Is Slovenian law still applicable if it is more detailed than the GDPR or does the GDPR prevail anyway. The Court of Appeal agrees with the Court of First Instance's finding that the direct application of the GDPR does not constitute a violation of Article 6 (1) (c) as a misdemeanor, with the result that the GDPR from the point of view of misdemeanor law, as part of criminal law, is more lenient for the perpetrator and the court is justified in applying the principle of legality from the second paragraph of Article 2 of ZP-1 on the basis of point 1 of the first paragraph of Article 136.
