Lis alibi pendens (a suit pending elsewhere)

The principle of lis alibi pendens attempts to solve the issue of potentially contradictory judgments in different jurisdictions.

According to this principle, if there is already #litigation pending between the same parties in respect of the same subject matter in another jurisdiction may give the defendant a ground on which s/he can obtain a stay of proceedings

The GDPR also foresees the possibility of contradictory judgments and includes a provision that regulates the potential conflict (art. 81 #GDPR).

Where a court becomes aware that a related proceeding pends in another court in a different MS, the former may suspend (stay) or consolidate (merge) the proceedings.

By related proceedings is meant same subject matter and same (private) controller or processor

Take a look at this chart to know more about this principle and its regulation in the GDPR
