Monday 19 November 2007, by Challenge
After implementing legislation of the EU data retention directive has passed German Parliament on 9.11.2007, a mass class-action challenging this act before the German Constitutional Court is currently under preparation. In a press release of the German privacy NGO Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung it is stated that until 16.11.2007 already 13.000 citizens have joined this class-action which is unprecedented in German constitutional law. Also the fraction of the Greens political party in the German Bundestag plans to submit a constitutional complaint as well as several senior members of the Liberal Party according to recent press releases.
