Black v. IEC Group: Important Data Privacy Ruling
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently issued a decision that could have significant consequences for data privacy cases going forward. The class action is getting a lot of attention from legal experts and generating major headlines, such as “Black v. IEC Group: Important Data Privacy Ruling.” That’s because the federal appellate court reversed a lower court decision and held that a plaintiff can have Article III standing to sue even when the only harm alleged is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data.
