Part 6: Enforcement Section 168: Compensation for contravention of the GDPR
This section makes provision in relation to the right to compensation under Article 82 of the GDPR. Article 82 gives a person the right to receive compensation from a controller or processor if they have suffered damage as a result of an infringement of the GDPR. The right to receive compensation set out in Article 82 is broadly equivalent to section 13 of the 1998 Act, with the exception that the type of damage which can be claimed is broader than that provided for in the 1998 Act.
	Subsections (2) and (3) provide that where proceedings for compensation are brought by a representative body on behalf of a data subject under Article 82 of the GDPR and the court orders that compensation should be paid, the court can provide that the compensation should be paid on behalf of the data subject to the representative body, or such other person as the court sees fit.
