The New York Law Journal interviewed Manatt’s Christine Reilly, chair of the firm’s TCPA compliance and class action defense practice, for an article on the Second Circuit’s decision that the Telephone Consumer Protection Act does not allow consumers to demand that they stop receiving automated calls, if they agreed to provisions opting them in.
Reilly said she thinks other circuits are sure to continue to side with consumer-friendly readings of the law that will be in conflict with the Second Circuit's view.
"This decision is a big win for the defense bar, as it's basically saying that the consumer does not have the ability in all situations to evoke consent," she said.
