Bloomberg Law has published the article “INSIGHT: One Text Message Not Enough for TCPA Lawsuit,” written by Akin Gump litigation partners Michael McTigue, Meredith Slawe and Michael Stortz. The article examines a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit regarding the applicability of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act to unwanted text messages.
In describing the court’s ruling, the authors note that a single text message “sent in alleged violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) isn’t sufficient to confer federal court standing.” The decision, they say, “may provide an important check against abusive litigation that goes far beyond Congress’s original intent in enacting the TCPA.”
