Seventh Circuit Issues Ruling that Ties Attorney's Fees to Amount Claimed by Class in TCPA Lawsuit
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a ruling that will bring an end to a TCPA case that's been going on for nearly a decade. In Holtzman v. Turza, Plaintiff Ira Holtzman filed a class action TCPA lawsuit after receiving unsolicited marketing faxes from Gregory P. Turza. The District Court ordered the defendants to pay $500 for each of the 8,430 class members, for a total of $4.2 million. After a few years of appeals and debate over how the attorney's fees should be calculated, the ruling this week has determined that $167 will be paid to the plaintiff's lawyers for every settlement check that is cashed. A copy of the court's ruling is available here. Contact a TCPA lawyer here.
