I think some of the fear that smaller business have is that this will encourage lawsuits until people understand how the courts will rule on each item.

That concern really is unfounded, though. The primary means of enforcement of the GDPR will be action by national data protection regulators. It isn't some carte blanche for trigger-happy lawyers to start suing every business that gets a little detail wrong or anything like that.

The general concern that the picture is unclear until something happens to clarify it is, unfortunately, much better founded.
