High Court of Justice (England & Wales) v. Stability AI Ltd (Getty Images v Stability AI)
November 4, 2025 · United Kingdom

AI that denies insurance claims or benefits must preserve meaningful human review of medical necessity; automated mass denials draw bad-faith, breach-of-contract and class-action liability.
Inclusion does not imply wrongdoing or liability. A filed lawsuit is an allegation, not a court finding. Status reflects the latest information we have — always check the official source for current status.
