The dispute involved a data subject seeking complete access under Article 15 GDPR from the controller (a hospitla). Initially, the claim included multiple defendants and medical liability claims, which were dropped in favour of the data disclosure claim. The data subject alleged that the first defendant had not provided complete information, particularly concerning data shared with their liability insurance company. The Higher Regional Court Cologne held that the data subject was entitled to complete access under Article 15 GDPR. The court found that the previous access was incomplete, especially regarding the internal correspondence with the liability insurance. The data subject's claim for damages under Article 82 GDPR was, however, dismissed due to the lack of concrete demonstration of the alleged immaterial harm.
