The lengthy Schrems II case decided by the Irish High Court in October 2017 left open which questions would be referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union. Those 11 questions have now been published by the court, and standard contractual clauses, as well as possibly Privacy Shield, will become subject to review by the CJEU. There are two important caveats in considering the possible impact of these questions.

Editor's Note: Shaw is the author of the IAPP's "DPO Handbook."
