Court of Appeals of Indiana
Amanda Henry v. Community Healthcare System Community Hospital
21A-CT-2150
Civil tort. Affirms the Lake Superior Court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Community Healthcare System Community Hospital on Amanda Henry’s complaint alleging invasion of privacy by intrusion into emotional seclusion, invasion of privacy by public disclosure of private facts and negligent retention. Holds the trial court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of Community on Henry’s negligent retention claim. Finds invasion of privacy by intrusion into emotional seclusion or solace is not recognized in Indiana and therefore the trial court did not err. Finds similarly for the invasion of privacy PDPF claim.
