The court on Monday heard arguments involving the class-action lawsuit brought by Fastsigns, the Georgia company that received one of the faxes in October 2003 from American Home Services Inc.
Fastsigns claimed the junk faxes violated a 1991 federal law that makes it illegal to send unsolicited ads to fax machines _ and it won big. A court entered a judgment against American Home Services for $1,500 in damages for each of the 306,000 junk faxes.
The eye-popping judgment was later tossed out by an appeals court, leading to Monday’s arguments before Georgia’s top court.
