Washington Case-Law

Read a random definition: ob poenam negligentiae

A quick definition of Washington Case-Law:

Washington Case-Law refers to legal cases that have been decided in the state of Washington. One important case is Gordon v. Virtumundo, which dealt with spam emails and the CAN-SPAM Act. The court ruled that the plaintiff did not have standing to bring a claim under the Act and that his claims were preempted by it. Another case, State v. Heckel, upheld the constitutionality of Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act, which protects internet service providers, domain name and email address owners, and individual internet users from the harms of spam emails. The court found that the Act did not unduly burden inter-state commerce or have extraterritorial effects on other states.

A more thorough explanation:

Washington Case-Law refers to legal cases that have been decided in the state of Washington. One important case is Gordon v. Virtumundo, which dealt with spam emails and the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

The CAN-SPAM Act is a federal law that regulates commercial emails. In Gordon v. Virtumundo, the court ruled that the plaintiff did not have standing to bring a claim under the CAN-SPAM Act and that his claims based on deceptive email headers were preempted by the Act. The court also discussed how Washington's consumer protection statute would have to be interpreted to avoid preemption by the CAN-SPAM Act.

Another important case related to anti-spam laws is State v. Heckel, where the Washington Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act ("CEMA"). The court determined that CEMA protects the interests of internet service providers, owners of domain names and email addresses, and individual internet users. The court also found that CEMA's "truthfulness" requirements do not unduly burden inter-state commerce or have unconstitutional extraterritorial effects on other states.

An example of how Washington Case-Law can affect individuals is if someone receives spam emails that violate anti-spam laws. They may be able to bring a claim under state or federal law, depending on the circumstances. However, as seen in Gordon v. Virtumundo, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to bring a successful claim.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
