Australian Clinical Labs (ASX:ACL) denied the claims made in the representative proceeding filed in the Victorian Supreme Court by a Michelle Raab-Ivanov and plans to "vigorously" defend it, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian bourse.

The proceeding was expressed to be on behalf of persons who were customers of the company and/or its Medlab Pathology subsidiary before July 15, 2022, and whose personal information was affected by a cyberattack on Medlab Pathology in February 2022, the filing said.

The statement of claim purports to seek damages for affected individuals based on alleged breaches of the Australian Consumer Law, per the filing.
