"Court of appeal declines to overturn legal victory over Dripa surveillance legislation by Tory MP David Davis and Labour’s Tom Watson.... However, the court of appeal judges noted that courts in six other EU states – Austria, Slovenia, Belgium, Romania, Holland and Slovakia – have declared national data retention laws to be invalid on the basis of the previous Digital Rights Ireland case. They asked the Luxembourg court to expedite the Dripa appeal."
