A U.S. District Court magistrate recently recommended a sub-class of California residents in a class-action data breach lawsuit receive enhanced damages over other members, Reuters reports. The magistrate ruled the California Consumer Privacy Act allows that victims of breaches could receive compensation of $100 to $750, but victims in other states may only be eligible to receive “incidental” damages. As a result, California class members in the data breach lawsuit against Dickey’s Barbeque Restaurants may receive $100 each, double what non-California residents may get. However, in many other class-action cases, courts have not recognized carve outs to meet various state consumer protection laws.
