Missouri Court Paves the Way for Federal Jurisdiction: Misappropriation of Electronic Information

Employers may now have a remedy against former employees who delete and/or steal a company’s electronically stored information as a result of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri’s ruling in Lasco Foods, Inc. v. Hall and Shaw Sales, Marketing, & Consulting, LLC. The court broadly interpreted the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), paving the way for a federal remedy employers may seek when a departing employee misappropriates information stored electronically.
