Steven Stransky, Jennifer Adler and Robyn Minter Smyers’ article, “Tips For Orgs Defending Against Daniel’s Law Claims,” was published in Law360.
In February, over 100 complaints were filed in New Jersey state courts concerning alleged violations of Daniel’s Law. These lawsuits target organizations that post certain residential addresses and unpublished telephone numbers on the internet, and as could be expected, a significant number of these claims target real estate platforms and similar online services that publish publicly available property records and personal contact data. The law was recently amended to require courts to award statutorily defined damages to aggrieved parties.
To better avoid litigation costs and reputational harm, organizations should immediately identify whether they are subject to Daniel’s Law and ensure they have implemented a comprehensive compliance program.
