On October 6, a Michigan federal court granted
preliminary approval of a settlement proposed by the lead
plaintiff to end its class action accusing a restaurant of sending
advertisements nearly 14,000 times to roughly 7,700 fax numbers.
Class certification was granted in December 2015, and the class
consisted of everyone who received at least one fax from the
restaurant on three dates in 2006 offering "15% OFF Your Total
Catering or Banquet Food Bill Up to $100." The settlement will provide class members who
submit a valid claim either $500 per fax or a pro rata share of the
settlement fund after other required payments are subtracted.

guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
