AGENCY
Generally
Alaska, 2022. Cit. generally in disc. Patient filed a claim for breach of contract against hospital, after
hospital's employee intentionally disclosed patient's health information to a third party in violation of
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The trial court entered judgment in favor of
hospital after the jury found that hospital's employee was not acting within the course and scope of her
employment. This court vacated, holding that the jury instruction erroneously applied the rule of
vicarious liability to excuse liability for breach of contract, and remanded for further proceedings. The
court rejected hospital's argument that Alaska had a long history of applying principles of agency
liability such as those set forth in Restatement of Agency to contract claims. Guy v. Providence Health
& Services Washington, 502 P.3d 13, 17.
