Carnival Corp., the world's largest cruise ship operator, faces damages of up to $2 million following a judge's finding that the company violated a federal statute by faxing a travel agent between 540 and 1,387 unsolicited advertisements over the course of about four years. The case marks one of the first times that a federal court has heard on diversity grounds a claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991; typically, they are brought only under the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005.

Carnival Corp., the world’s largest cruise ship operator, faces damages of up to $2 million following a judge’s finding that the company violated a federal statute by faxing a travel agent between 540 and 1,387 unsolicited advertisements over the course of about four years.
Eastern District of New York Judge I. Leo Glasser held that the faxes violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, which bars the use of any “telephone facsimile machine … to send an unsolicited advertisement.”
