TCPAWorld followers have heard me crow a time or two about my big win in Tillman in which my client defeated certification in a TCPA wrong number code class case down in the Middle District of Florida. While defeating a wrong number TCPA code class action is already a worthy enough accomplishment, what I was most proud of was that the Court accepted our reasoning why such classes are never certifiable—not just in that case but in any case.

Despite my shameless references to Tillman, few Defendants have leveraged the case particularly well—until now. In Sliwa v. Bright House Networks, No. 2:16-cv-235, 2019 WL 4744938 (M.D. Fl. Sept. 27, 2019) the Defendant earned a critical ruling defeating certification in a TCPA debt collection class action and on grounds that should prove nearly universally helpful to outbound callers of all shapes and sizes. This is a really important win folks—on par with Tillman itself—and should be carefully studied by class litigators.
