I recently discussed the November 23, 2022 decision Pereda v. Atos Jui Jitsu, which right now is cited as 2022 WL 17174558. That blog focused on the principles of agency: actual agency and ostensible agency, and whether a franchisor can be liable for the negligence of a franchisee.
Since November 2022, four lawsuits have been brought against the mega-tech company, Apple Inc. for the flagrant disregard of user privacy, and for misleading marketing practices.
Of the four, two are filed in the Northern District of California for expressly violating California’s privacy laws including the California Invasion Of Privacy Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
