| Choice Hotels International, Inc.source ↗ filed by Brody Hardoon Perkins & Kesen, LLP · Judge Margaret R. Guzman · No. 4:26-cv-40203 · 28:1331 Fed. Question · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M ▾Comparable privacy-tracking rulings split: Bayhealth's breach-of-confidentiality claim survived and Gunnar Optiks BIPA claim was revived on remand, but Integris's parallel state-law tracking claims remain unresolved ('unclear'). No wiretap-specific precedent directly on point, so outcome hinges on how court treats pixel/session-replay allegations under Mass. wiretap statute. Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M median $63.75M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google LLC $135M · Google $68M Per member (realized): ~$30 median · $29–$30 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — survived MTD on tracking-tech disclosure theory, showing courts increasingly recognize duty/claim viability for third-party data sharing via web trackers. Main risk: Dismissal on standing/consent grounds akin to Integris's unresolved state-law claims, or narrow reading of wiretap 'interception' as in LabCorp's restrictive statutory interpretation. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $12.50M–$175M No wiretap-specific or Choice Hotels precedent exists; estimate relies on analogized privacy/tracking rulings and small realized-payout sample (n=2). · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | D.
