Grant's Gdn. v. Grant

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• focusing on number of phone calls placed, not whether the claim or defense of the class member was meritorious
• finding an award of money damages would be inadequate where the defendant \stated that it 'has never had the ability to pay even a small fraction' of the amount of statutory damages that would be awarded.\
• estimating class was so numerous as to make joinder impracticable because “[e]ven if only a small fraction of [the millions of] phone calls [at issue] fall into the class described by plaintiffs, the class surely meets the numerosity requirement”
• representatives adequate because they “maintain[ed] interests in pursuing statutory damages”
• “[F]inal orders issued by the FCC are binding on this court under the Hobbs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2341(1). Thus the Court must adhere to the FCC's 2015 ruling so long as it is valid law.” (citing CE Design, Ltd. v. Prism Bus. Media, Inc., 606 F.3d 443, 450 (7th Cir. 2010))
