It was a bit of boasting that could end up costing the Snays the entire $80,000 (?47,750) settlement, reports the Miami Herald.
When Gulliver got wind of post, which didn't take long, as Dana was a former student, the school refused to pay a dime because the father had signed a confidentiality agreement - and on Wednesday a Florida appeals court found in its favour.
The story has writers drawing conclusions about the foolishness of today's youth and the perils of social media.
Elie Mystal on the blog Above the Law calls it "a new low for the Millennial generation".
Wow. No Internet for her anymore.
confidential means tell no one....not your wife nor your kids.
When it comes to the actual work you do, I can see that point. You're not to discuss patients records.
But when it comes to a lawsuit, how can you keep that from your family? You shouldn't have to, since it concerns them all. Especially since he lost his job (or so I assume), which directly hurts your whole family.
Also, HE was not the one breaching the confidentiality contract...
If the child is a minor and they can prove he didn`t spill the beans to her, they likely have a case.....if he blathered he`s screwed by stupidity.
Anyone with kids knows that kids BLAB. All it would take is her overhearing a conversation between her parents (and spouses are always allowed to share information regardless of agreement, it's the marriage contract).
Hypothetical situation. Let's say the parents are divorced and the husband HAS to disclose his deal due to support payments. Then the exwife tells her new boyfriend who blabs it. Is he at fault?

It's hard to tell from the article, but it's possible that his family was present in court for the lawsuit.
But I agree that he certainly should have made sure anyone present were fully aware what the confidentiality agreement meant - ie. no telling your friends in the hallways, no posting on Facebook, etc.
Meh. Some narcissitic millenial cost her parents $80,000 because she overshares. It won't teach her a thing.
LOL. Fuck you, Dad!
Life lesson for the poor girl. Defendant gets the last laugh.
