Ok so first of all - Twitter/GDPR/what to do! So firstly, the court needs to make the order for Twitter to disclose the data, which they may not do as itâs a) disproportionate b) a waste of time c) complex involving international law d) ridiculousâŚ.
In addition, AH has already been told she cannot pursue this in the VA trial, so itâs a pointless exercise! I feel this approach re twitter is v much an âAHâ idea; not advice from a lawyer⌠as itâs not going to accomplish anything and is a waste of time.
In any event; re GDPR - while the laws around GDPR are v strict, where it comes to information being disclosed in the course of legal proceedings, it is more tricky. The issue has been argued in other cases - esp re disclosure of UK/EU citizensâs info in US legal proceedings.
And in simple terms, the bottom line is, if the court orders it, it can be disclosed. The question then is, what to do about it. Well, you could kick up a stink, file a motion to quash it etc.. etc⌠but Iâm not here to give any individuals legal advice.
However, while it might be tempting to create almighty hell over it, hereâs a thought⌠you all know you are real people right? So you could all give AH what she wants & simply let her look utterly ridiculous! So she gets the info - then what?
