Illinois Supreme Court
Civil Court
Telephone Consumer Protection Act
Class action suit filed per federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) for receipt of unsolicited faxes. Monetary judgment, per settlement, entered against Defendant, to be paid only from his insurance policies. TCPA is a remedial and not a punitive statute. Liquidated damages of $500 per violation are not uninsurable punitive damages. (KILBRIDE, THOMAS, GARMAN, KARMEIER, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
