California Appellate Court Affirms Broad Scope of ERISA Preemption in State Law Privacy Case
Seyfarth Shaw 
Feb. 27, 2019
"[T]he California Court of Appeal held that ERISA Section 514 preempts state law causes of action premised on wrongful disclosure of protected private health information. Although not-binding as precedent, the decision is noteworthy to Plan sponsors and administrators because it demonstrates the expansive preclusive effect of federal law over state privacy and consumer protection statutes that impact ERISA benefit claims." [Weaver v. Healthcomp, Inc., No. F075072 (Cal 5th Ct. App. Jan. 10, 2019; unpub.)]
