AT&T won’t appeal after all a data throttling case it lost in small claims court to a customer, one of a growing number of lawsuits against companies for reneging on marketing claims.
The wireless carrier agreed Friday to pay $850 in damages and $85 in court costs awarded to wireless customer Matthew Spaccarelli by a small claims court in California in February, according to The Associated Press.
Following Spaccarelli’s victory, AT&T threatened to appeal the award if the disgruntled customer didn’t agree to a gag order in the case. Requiring the signing of non-disclosure agreements in damage award cases is a common practice by companies to prevent the people they’re paying off from talking about a case after it’s settled.
But AT&T wasn’t able to muzzle Spaccarelli, and the company is throwing in the towel anyways. AT&T isn’t giving any reasons for its change of heart, AP reported.
Congrats Matthew! Now for the rest of you, get started here!
