Nottingham had ruled the FTC had to stop accepting citizen applications for the national do-not-call registry. The FTC, pleased with the new decision, said they will need a minimum of a day to restart their operation.
The appellate court’s ruling said, “The Supreme Court has held that there is undoubtedly a substantial governmental interest in the prevention of abusive and coercive sales practices.”
The court added that Congress has declared certain telemarketing efforts “subjected consumers to substantial fraud, deception and abuse.”
A hearing has been scheduled to take place in Tulsa, Okla., on Nov. 10 that will take into account all the cases involving the national do-not-call registry.
