The aim of the present thesis is to present concisely the principal issues relating to the application of Article 82 of the GDPR. Through a comprehensive approach to doctrinal positions and, in particular, to case law, all developments concerning the interpretation of the basic requirements required for the application of the said Article are set out. More specifically, reference is first made to the issue of the functional purpose of the Article under consideration, which in any event must be interpreted autonomously. Subsequently, the most fundamental aspects of both active and passive standing are addressed, as conditions for the admissibility of an action for damages under Article 82, through the parallel elucidation of certain relevant key concepts of the Regulation. Thereafter, due to its importance, the controversial issue of the allocation of the burden of proof upon the bringing of the relevant action is brought to the fore. Subsequently, the requirements of unlawfulness, damage, and causal link are analyzed in sequence, together with certain interrelated issues that have consistently concerned the legal community. At the same time, the issue of calculating the amount of the compensation to be awarded, should the action be upheld, is addressed, and the view is advanced that the dual nature of personal data as both a right and as consideration must be taken into account in the determination of the final amount of compensation, which must be full. For the sake of completeness of the thesis, certain concluding issues are finally mentioned, relating to limitation periods, the right to effective judicial protection, as well as the issue of the concurrence of Article 82 with other provisions of the Greek legal system.
