Personal Data Protection Act Article 34
Where the rights of multiple data subjects have been infringed upon due to the same incident, the incorporated foundation or incorporated charity may file a lawsuit with the court in its own name after obtaining a written delegation of litigation rights of at least 20 data subjects. The data subjects may withdraw their delegation in writing before the conclusion of the oral argument and the data subjects shall notify the court thereof.With regard to the litigation referred to in the preceding paragraph, the court may issue a public notice, either upon receiving a petition therefor or on its own initiative, informing other data subjects that suffer damages due to the same incident that they may delegate their litigation rights to the incorporated foundation or the incorporated charity referred to in the preceding paragraph within a specified period of time. The incorporated foundation or the incorporated charity may expand demand for the relief sought before the conclusion of the oral argument.If other data subjects that suffer damages due to the same incident chose not to delegate their litigation rights pursuant to the preceding paragraph, they may still bring the case to the court within the timeframe specified in the public notice for the court to combine the cases.Other data subjects that have suffered damages due to the same incident may also file a petition, requesting the court to issue the public notice referred to in the preceding paragraph.The notice referred to in the preceding two paragraphs may be posted on the bulletin boards of the court, on the Internet or at other proper locations. Should the court consider it necessary, it may make such notice in a government gazette or newspaper, or through other means, and the fees therefrom shall be paid by the National Treasury.For the incorporated foundation or the incorporated charity that brings a case to the court in accordance with paragraph 1, if the claim value of the case exceeds NT$600,000, the court fee attributable to the excess portion of the claim value shall be waived.
