Kimpton Hotels Can’t Check Out of Class Data Breach Claims

Posted on April 17, 2017 by Dissent

Upscale hotel chain Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group LLC can’t completely escape consumer claims that it failed to adequately protect guests’ payment card data and other personal information (Walters v. Kimpton Hotel & Rest. Group , N.D. Cal., No. 16-cv-05387-VC, partial motion to dismiss granted 4/13/17 ).

However, Chhabria allowed implied contract, negligence and California unfair business practices claims to continue.
