Subject: TCPA Vicarious Liability: It Is About Control
by David O. Klein
Recently, an Arizona federal district court dismissed Telephone
Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") claims against a Florida-based cruise
ship company. The Court based its decision on the plaintiff's failure
to prove that the cruise ship company either sent the allegedly
offending text messages itself or had an agent send them on its
behalf. This latter, agency-based, theory of liability is known as
TCPA vicarious liability, a legal theory where a company may be held
responsible for text messages (or certain telephone calls) that third
parties send (or place) for them.

Subject: TCPA Fax Liability: What's Your Motivation?
by David O. Klein
Recently, a federal court in Illinois dismissed Telephone Consumer
Protection Act ("TCPA") claims against an animal health and wellness
company, Elanco Animal Health, Inc. ("Elanco"). Elanco sent
unsolicited facsimile transmissions to Ambassador Animal Hospital,
Ltd. ("AAH") concerning continuing education seminars sponsored by
Elanco. The Court dismissed the TCPA fax claims, ruling that plaintiff
failed to prove that Elanco had sent the subject unsolicited fax
materials with sufficient commercial motivation.
