Original: VANISHING ACT: TCPA Defendant Avoids Fees And Sanctions After Its Attorney Disappears

Short summary

A District of Oregon court denied a TCPA plaintiff's motions for attorney's fees and sanctions after the defendant's original attorney disappeared and stopped communicating. The court found the discovery failures were caused by the vanished attorney, not the client, and that new counsel diligently cured deficiencies. The court also rejected the argument that the defendant controlled records held by third-party marketing vendors Yotpo and Klaviyo.
