What enforcement action might the ICO take? How would a data protection officer dismissed in contravention of the GDPR bring a claim for compensation for that dismissal under the GDPR? Does the reference in Article 79(2) of the GDPR to ‘data subject’ in any way affect or limit the right to bring a claim for compensation under Article 82(1) of the GDPR?
