California Supreme Court Rejects Non-Disclosure Theory for ER Evaluation and Management Fees, Holding that Hospitals owe no Additional Duty Outside Regulatory Pricing Disclosure Regime | Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP - JDSupra
Hospitals charge a standard evaluation and management services fee (“EMS”) for patients seen in the emergency room, in one of five amounts, depending upon the severity of the visit. This EMS fee is listed in the hospital’s public “chargemaster,” a comprehensive price list required by law. But does the hospital also have a duty to inform individual ER patients, before they receive services, about the EMS fee?

In the past several months, however, the plaintiffs’ bar has expressed concerns about the privacy implications of these chatbots, and has brought a wave of litigation challenging their use under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA).
Electronic Checklist Deemed the Most Effective Trial Graphic
Checklists. Pilots use them before takeoff to ensure that critical items are not forgotten. Doctors use them for simple patient procedures as well as major operations to avoid mistakes. In fact, we all use checklists—it’s human nature. In our hectic, distraction-filled lives, all kinds of lists help us get organized.
More on McGill: Ninth Circuit Affirms Order Enforcing Arbitration of Public Injunctive Relief Claims | JD Supra
Arbitration clauses with class action waivers remain one of the most effective lines of defense against consumer class actions. They are also one of the most challenged. As we have discussed in prior posts, including here, here, and here, consumer arbitration clauses have come under fire in California if they prohibit plaintiffs from obtaining “public injunctive relief” in any forum. This is the so-called McGill rule, which comes from the California Supreme Court’s decision in McGill v.
NY’s Gendered Pricing Law: Will It Curb the Pink Tax | JD Supra
Women often pay more than men for similar goods and services. A shampoo for men may be nearly identical in chemical makeup to a shampoo for women, but the woman will pay more. This phenomenon is referred to as the “pink tax” – products marketed to women cost more than their counterparts marketed to men.
Avoiding Formation Challenges To Your Arbitration Clause With Consumers | JD Supra
In prior posts (here and here), we raised questions that companies may want to ask when evaluating their arbitration clauses and making changes to them.

Questions To Ask When Changing Your Arbitration Clause | JD Supra
In a prior post, we highlighted some questions that companies may want to ask when evaluating whether their arbitration clauses are enforceable. If changes need to be made to those clauses, then companies should consider how to implement those changes so as to ensure those are enforceable too. The following is what you should be thinking about and asking.
An Arbitration Clause Health Check | JD Supra
Arbitration clauses with class action waivers remain one of the most effective tools that consumer-facing companies can employ to fend off consumer class action litigation. Yet many companies stumble both in getting their customers to agree to the arbitration clause and in drafting a clause that captures all claims that they might face.

One A Day Will Not Keep Plaintiffs Away | JD Supra
In a recent decision, the California Court of Appeal reaffirmed and clarified how the “reasonable consumer” standard must be applied at the pleadings stage to mislabeling claims. In simplest terms, if the packaging makes a definitive statement on the front that suggests one thing, but fine print on the back contradicts that statement, the defendant cannot rely on the fine print to escape a mislabeling claim.

Ninth Circuit Confirms that a Cy Pres Only Settlement Can Work In Privacy Class Action
The internet continues to expand into every aspect of our lives. With it, many companies have collected, tracked, and used an enormous amount of data. All of this has given rise to class action lawsuits challenging the privacy practices of these companies. But, these lawsuits often challenge practices that do not cause any actual damage, which can make it difficult to reach a settlement, particularly of a Rule 23(b)(3) class. So, how can parties wanting to settle proceed?
Class Action Plaintiffs In The Ninth Circuit Can No Longer Obtain Immediate Appellate Review Of Orders Denying Class Certification
The U.S. Supreme Court has closed a loophole that class action plaintiffs in the Ninth Circuit had been exploiting to obtain immediate appellate review of a district court’s denial of class certification. The decision – Microsoft Corp. v. Baker, 582 U.S. __ (2017) – will end a practice in the Ninth Circuit that was seen as unfair to defendants, who could not exploit the same loophole to obtain immediate review of a district court’s grant of class certification.
