LONDON : Google asked London's High Court on Tuesday to throw out a lawsuit brought on behalf of 1.6 million people over medical records provided to the tech giant by a British hospital trust.
Britain's data protection watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office, said in 2017 that the Royal Free, which is part of the public National Health Service, misused patient data when it provided the information to DeepMind. "The class also includes a substantial number of individuals who positively benefited from – potentially life-saving – clinical care which was made possible," White added.
However, Prismall's lawyer Timothy Pitt-Payne said in court filings that every claimant"had their patient-identifiable medical records transferred ... and therefore suffered the same loss of control".
Then sue DeepMind. Sue Google for what?
