The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled that the former president of a roofing company is not personally liable for a $22 million judgment entered against his firm for sending junk faxes in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Affirming a 2016 jury verdict that found no individual liability against Raymond Miley III for ordering a blast of advertising faxes, the appeals court rejected the plaintiff’s claim that the trial judge gave faulty jury instructions on the issue.
