On 28 June, the EU announced that it had adopted 2 adequacy decisions for the UK – one under GDPR and the other for the Law Enforcement Directive.  It says that personal data can now flow freely from the EU to the UK, as it benefits from an essentially equivalent level of protection to that guaranteed under EU law.

On 27 June, the Wall Street Journal reported that John McPherson missed out on a $1.4 million payout because target company, Life Partners Holdings Inc, had declared bankruptcy, and the SEC never collected financial penalties it was owed.  Investors, however, were able to recoup more than $1 billion through the bankruptcy process.  The SEC won’t pay awards for financial recoveries in bankruptcy proceedings, even if the affected company entered bankruptcy as a result of the agency’s enforcement actions.
