Judgment_paragraph 35 · BE v Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (C-132/21)

35It follows, first of all, from the wording of those provisions that Regulation 2016/679 does not provide for any priority or exclusive competence or jurisdiction or for any rule of precedence in respect of the assessment carried out by the authority or by the courts referred to therein as to whether there is an infringement of the rights conferred by that regulation. The remedy provided for in Article 78(1) of that regulation, the purpose of which is to examine the lawfulness of the decision of a supervisory authority adopted on the basis of Article 77 thereof, and the remedy provided for in Article 79(1) of that regulation may therefore be exercised concurrently with and independently of each other.
