A Fort Lauderdale federal district court dismissed a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit filed by visitors to a Web site operated by Whirlpool Corp., a multinational American manufacturer and marketer of home appliances.
Alfred Saikali and Jennifer McLoone, partners at Shook Hardy & Bacon in Miami who represented Whirlpool in the class action lawsuit, said this was the first judgment by a federal court in the Sunshine State on the latest trend in statewide privacy proceedings.
