Settlement Documents
Background of the Lawsuit
Katherine Layman filed a class action lawsuit against Legacy Health, alleging that the healthcare provider disclosed patients’ personally identifiable information to Meta Platforms Inc. (Facebook) and Alphabet Inc. (Google) without permission. The plaintiff asserted claims for breach of confidence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and negligence.
Legacy Health denied any wrongdoing. Rather than proceed to trial, both parties agreed to settle the case to avoid the costs, risks, and uncertainties of continued litigation. The settlement was preliminarily approved by the Circuit Court of Multnomah County on December 29, 2025. A Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for April 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. PT to determine whether the court will grant final approval.
