1. Point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 6(1) and Article 6(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), read in the light of Article 8(2) and Article 52 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which, as regards the processing of personal data, undertaken in the context of a court examining the facts and taking evidence, merely prescribes that it is for the parties to submit detailed factual evidence which is truthful and requires that court to take such evidence fully into consideration, before, as the case may be, assessing that evidence, without providing any indication as to the circumstances and conditions under which the facts stated and the evidence adduced by the parties containing personal data may be used by that court, provided that (i) there is clear and precise national case-law, the application of which is foreseeable, and which itself establishes the circumstances and conditions under which the facts stated and the evidence adduced by the parties containing personal data may be used by a court, (ii) that case-law meets an objective of public interest and (iii) that case-law is proportionate to that objective.

4. Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, Article 5(1) of Regulation 2016/679, point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 6(1) of that regulation, read in conjunction with Article 6(3) thereof, and the principle of 'data minimisation'

must be interpreted as not precluding a national court from using evidence containing personal data obtained in breach of the right to privacy and the right to the protection of personal data by the party which transmitted such data to that court, where that party's legitimate interest in such processing does not outweigh the interest in simply adducing the facts on which it relies. By contrast, before disclosing those data to the parties or third parties, that court must verify that such data are limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which such disclosure is made and, as appropriate, take certain measures to minimise the impediment to the right to the protection of personal data which such disclosure is likely to entail.
