58In that regard, in view of the compensatory function of the right to compensation under Article 82 of the GDPR, as the Advocate General pointed out, in essence, in points 39, 49 and 52 of his Opinion, financial compensation based on that provision must be regarded as ‘full and effective’ if it allows the damage actually suffered as a result of the infringement of that regulation to be compensated in its entirety, without there being any need, for the purposes of such compensation for the damage in its entirety, to require the payment of punitive damages.
