On March 16, 2018, the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia finally issued its decision regarding challenges to the FCC's interpetation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act—and it's a mixed bag. A generally good mixed bag, but a mixed bag still.

For the most part, the ruling will be welcome to financial institutions that have strugged to comply with the harsh (and downright unworkable) orders the FCC has published over the years. Some of the most unreasonable parts of the FCC's rules have been overturned—including the definition of what an "automatic telephone dialing system" is and the rule regarding the liability of a financial institution that calls a cell number without knowing it has been reassigned. That's good news.

But the Circuit Court's decision did not resolve many issues, leaving it to trial courts to come up with their own answers until the FCC tries again. That's not good news at all, and it leaves much of the battle still to be fought.

During this webinar, attorney Eric North talks with financial institutions about just what the Court of Appeals did and did not resolve. Participants will learn what the Court said about:

This court decision is an important one for all financial institutions—including those that have already adopted policies and procedures and have included "consent" language to loan, deposit account and customer agreements based on now-overturned FCC orders.
