Amended TCPA Complaint Names Margaritaville Parent as Defendant

Plaintiff Racheal Paul filed her first amended complaint Monday (docket 6:23-cv-00223) in U.S. District Court for Middle Florida in Orlando, substituting Margaritaville restaurants parent company IMCMV Holdings, for Margaritaville Enterprises in her Feb. 8 class action. She accuses the company of wrongful Telephone Consumer Protection Act conduct (see 2302080056). Paul alleges the company unlawfully sends telemarketing text messages without consent to consumers who registered their numbers on the national do not call registry and to those who have specifically asked Margaritaville to stop texting them. Paul listed her cellphone number on the DNC registry in April 2014, yet she received two text solicitations Jan. 29 offering a free appetizer if she visited a Margaritaville restaurant, said her complaint.
