The Amendment of the Landregister 2024 – Data Protection Enters the Land Register
With the planned Amendment of the Landregister 2024, data protection is now making its way into the land register. The European Court of Human Rights ruled on April 6, 2021, that Austria had violated the right to respect for private and family life because the land register failed to balance the right to respect for the complainant's private and family life with the purposes of public access to the land register when publishing a divorce settlement in the document collection. This decision has far-reaching consequences for the publication of documents in the land register.
