Karen H Bromberg Speaks to Law360 on the California Privacy Initiative

An initiative in California that seeks to create a presumption of harm when personal information is disclosed without authorization could lead to an increase in privacy class actions lawsuits, a recent Law360 article suggests. Bromberg notes, “Many courts have dismissed privacy lawsuits for failure to establish injury, [but] the establishment of a presumption of harm, as proposed by the initiative, would eliminate this barrier. This will trigger more privacy lawsuits.”
