Court Reconsiders and Reverses Earlier Ruling Finding That Contractual Consent Cannot Be Revoked
TCPAland reports on a reversal of fortune: The Northern District of Alabama has officially been reconsidered and reversed itself on a contractual consent decision.
The court originally ruled that the plaintiff “could not unilaterally revoke her consent to receive debt-collection calls because she agreed to provide that consent as part of a bargained-for exchange.”
The court revisited some of the authorities surrounding its original ruling, and decided that it was wrong, and that a consumer may freely revoke contractual consent unless some term in the contract limits that right. explains Shane Micheil of Womble Bond Dickinson.
