Neither does the ICO answer the question if a sole owner can be the DPO nor does it help to determine if this case would require a DPO.

UK is not the only country that can sue you under GDPR. What if Bulgaria decides 20 million sound pretty good?

Citation needed. I have seen absolutely zilch about the implementation of GDPR in countries like Hungary, Romania or Bulgaria. And they are members of the EU as well, you know.

It's very unlikely the EU as a whole will tolerate spurious GDPR lawsuits. They're quite aware that this has made many companies nervous.

No one in government has announced a plan to repeal the GDPR from UK law.
