Florida Case-Law

Read a random definition: compulsory disclosure

A quick definition of Florida Case-Law:

Florida Case-Law: If someone sends you an advertisement by fax without your permission, you can sue them in Florida court even if Florida's law doesn't specifically say you can. This is because of a federal law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. This law protects people from unwanted phone calls, faxes, and other types of telecommunications. In a case called Condon v. Office Depot, a court in Florida said that people can use this law to sue companies that send them unsolicited fax advertisements.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Florida Case-Law refers to the legal decisions made by Florida courts that establish legal precedents for future cases. In the context of unsolicited telecommunications, Florida Case-Law has established that a private cause of action can be brought in state court for unsolicited fax advertisements under the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), even though Florida's law prohibiting unsolicited fax advertisements does not specifically enable this.

Example: In Condon v. Office Depot, a Florida court ruled that a private individual could bring a lawsuit against Office Depot for sending unsolicited fax advertisements, even though Florida's law did not explicitly allow for such a lawsuit. The court based its decision on the TCPA, a federal law that prohibits unsolicited fax advertisements and allows for private lawsuits to be brought against violators.

Explanation: This example illustrates how Florida Case-Law can be used to fill gaps in state law and provide individuals with legal remedies for harms they have suffered. In this case, the court recognized that the TCPA provided a private cause of action for unsolicited fax advertisements, even though Florida's law did not explicitly allow for such a lawsuit. As a result, the plaintiff was able to bring a lawsuit against Office Depot and seek damages for the harm caused by the unsolicited fax advertisements.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
