Description:
Statement of Claim by Charmaine L'Hirondelle: An $11-million class action lawsuit has been filed over a missing laptop containing personal and health information of 620,000 Albertans.---- Charmaine L’Hirondelle is the representative plaintiff of the statement of claim, filed on Jan. 28, which alleges a breach of information could result in identity theft, land titles and mortgage fraud, and break and entry.---- None of the allegations have been proven in court.---- In late September, an unencrypted laptop of an IT consultant for Medicentres Canada went missing. The laptop held a database of personal information — names, dates of birth, health card numbers, diagnostic and billing codes — for 620,000 patients who visited Medicentre clinics in Edmonton and Calgary between May 2011 and Sept. 2013.---- The lawsuit alleges Medicentres failed to protect private information and was negligent in taking more than four months to inform the public about the privacy breach.---- Medicentres has not filed a statement of defence.
