The plaintiffs in the case were an interest group and a car parts dealer. Based on a warning under competition law, the association had complained of a breach of data protection regulations and sued the dealer for an injunction. The regional court dismissed the claim. The GDPR conclusively regulates sanctions for infringements. Enforcement via competition law could also not be justified with a different objective of competition law(Regional Court of Stuttgart, judgment of May 20, 2019, Ref.: 35 O 68/18 Kfh).
