Reactions from Both Camps
Vivint issued a diplomatic response:
“While we acknowledge the Court’s ruling, it’s important to note that many of the allegations occurred over a decade ago under prior ownership. Today, we are focused on serving more than two million customers across the US, enabling them to live in smarter, safer homes.”
But CPI celebrated the decision as vindication.
“Chalk one up for the good guys,” said CPI CEO Ken Gill. “This was for our customers and for the public—especially seniors targeted by deceptive practices. Let this serve as a warning to others.”
Charles Eblen, CPI’s attorney at Shook Hardy & Bacon LLP, added:
“Years of intentional misconduct come with economic consequences. Vivint had a fair trial and should accept the jury’s message.”
The appellate panel included Judges Paul V. Niemeyer, DeAndrea Gist Benjamin, and Nicole G. Berner.
CPI was represented by attorneys from Shook Hardy & Bacon LLP and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP.
