What are the implications of Oracle's July 18, 2025, legal submission in the TPC lawsuit?

Oracle's July 18, 2025, legal submission in the TPC lawsuit involved the filing of detailed written arguments by both The Privacy Collective (TPC) and Oracle. This submission is part of an ongoing appeal process before the Dutch Supreme Court in a class action lawsuit initiated by TPC in Amsterdam.1

Background of the TPC Lawsuit The Privacy Collective filed a lawsuit against Oracle, along with Salesforce.com, Inc., alleging violations of the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Dutch Telecommunications Act. TPC claims damages for "immaterial damages" (at a fixed amount of €500 per Dutch internet user) and "material damages" related to the market value of personal data, among other claims.1

Current Status and Implications The case has seen several developments, including an initial dismissal of TPC's claims by the District Court due to procedural flaws, which was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. Oracle subsequently appealed this decision to the Dutch Supreme Court. The July 18, 2025, submission of detailed arguments by both parties is a critical step in this Supreme Court appeal process.1

Despite the ongoing litigation and the potential for significant damages if TPC were to prevail, Oracle has stated its belief that the lawsuit will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. Oracle maintains that it has meritorious defenses against the action, including challenges to the quantum of damages claimed, and intends to vigorously defend the case.1

Investors should monitor further developments, particularly the Advocate-General's opinion to the Dutch Supreme Court, which was scheduled to be set after a hearing on September 26, 2025.1
