#128 See you in court! Unpacking 20 years of Victorian privacy caselaw

25 March 2025

This week Jordan is joined by fellow Victorian elevenM-er and OVIC alumnus Piotr Debowski to explore some of the challenges, trends and quirks of privacy complaints in Victoria and to introduce a new, free, elevenM resource: The Victorian Privacy Case Notes Database.

Piotr led the development of the database, which provides case notes and commentary on Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and Victorian Supreme Court decisions involving the interpretation and application of the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) from the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic).

We hope the database will be a useful resource for Victorian privacy officers or anyone with an interest in Victorian privacy case law. Feedback very welcome via https://elevenm.com.au/contact/.
