Law note · Mississippi
Breach notification law, unfair trade practice deeming and enforcement
Failure to comply with Mississippi's breach notification duty constitutes an unfair trade practice enforced by the Attorney General, but the same sentence that deems the violation an unfair trade practice expressly forecloses any private right of action: this closes, in one clause, the exact route that opens a private action in other states whose breach statutes deem a violation an unfair trade practice without an express carve-out.
What it asks of an app
- Expect a violation of Mississippi's breach notification duty to be enforced solely by the Attorney General as an unfair trade practice; the statute expressly forecloses a private right of action in the same clause that deems the violation an unfair trade practice.
