Boss fined Pounds 300k over spam texts has penalty overturned
2013
Overview
Mr [Christopher Niebel] and his Stockport and Birminghambased company, Tetrus, texted on an 'industrial scale', using unregistered Sim cards to send hundreds of thousands of unwanted messages. Despite claims to the contrary by lawyers representing the ICO, those texts were unlikely to have caused the 'substantial damage' or 'substantial distress' to recipients necessary to justify the fine. The ICO argued at the tribunal that recipients would have suffered damage because they would be charged for replying 'stop', by their phone memory being filled and by time being wasted. Judge [Nicholas Warren] said it was unlikely anyone would have suffered 'substantial' damage and that it would take a very short period of time to 'give a tut of irritation' and delete a spam message.
