The complainant saw his right of access violated, since video recordings of therapy sessions had not been sent to him. The DPA dismissed the complaint as unfounded. Consequently, the complainant filed an appeal against this decision. The BVwG did not (yet) take a decision on the merit of the case but stalled the procedure it filed a request for preliminary ruling on the question the interpretation of Article 15(3) GDPR in August 2021. See decision BVwG - W211 2222613-2/12E. Once the CJEU has passed its judgment on the matter, the BVwG will resume the case.
