Vicarious Liability May Be Used to State a FACTA Claim

By InfoLawGroup LLP on May 01, 2012

Vicarious liability may be used to state a claim under the FACTA provision prohibiting a retailer from printing a credit card expiration date on a receipt. See Keith v. Back Yard Burgers of Nebraska, Inc., No. 8:11-CV-135 (D. Neb. Apr. 13, 2012). According to the court, only one other unreported decision had addressed a franchisor's vicarious liability under FACTA.
