Ohio Supreme Court September 15, 1999, No. 98-952 (Biddle v. Warren General Hospital)

Cook, J.,

concurring in part and dissenting in part. I concur with the majority’s recognition of independent torts for the unauthorized disclosure of medical information and for the inducement thereof as set forth in the syllabi. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio recognized these torts more than thirty years ago. Hammonds v. Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co. (1965), 243 F.
