2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ESTThis session will focus on the legal liabilities that arise when businesses are alleged to have used or resold state-originated DMV data without a valid or permissible purpose — and how defense counsel can evaluate, contain, and defeat those claims. The session will cover the essential elements plaintiffs must establish under 18 U.S.C. § 2724 (origin from a motor vehicle record, lack of a permissible use, and knowledge or reasonableness), and where each element is most vulnerable to challenge. Particular attention will be given to the main hurdles plaintiffs face in this litigation — including Article III standing post-TransUnion and the ‘from a motor vehicle record’ tracing requirement — and the permitted-purpose defenses that most often decide parking-company, ALPR, and data-broker class actions, where statutory damages of $2,500 per record can drive class-wide exposure into the millions.
Austin WhittenLogan S. Booth 3:40 pm - 4:40 pm ESTThis session examines how plaintiffs’ attorneys can construct and prosecute federal DPPA claims under 18 U.S.C. § 2724 against private businesses that obtain or use DMV-sourced personal information without a permitted purpose, with a focus on downstream-recipient and vendor-chain liability theories. Attendees will learn the statutory elements required to establish a viable claim — including the critical ‘from a motor vehicle record’ tracing requirement, Article III standing pleading post-TransUnion, and the 14 permitted-purpose exceptions most frequently litigated in parking-company and data-broker class actions. Attorneys will leave with a practical framework for complaint drafting, discovery targeting, and damages calculation in cases where statutory minimums of $2,500 per record drive class-wide exposure into the millions.
