ADT, a provider of monitored security and interactive home and business automation solutions in the United States and Canada, today announced that the company was awarded $3 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages against Alder Holdings LLC, a Utah-based company.
ADT filed an unfair competition lawsuit against Alder for deceptive sales practices. The jury in the case returned a verdict in favor of ADT, finding that Alder engaged in, and was liable for, deceptive sales practices that misled hundreds of ADT customers. The case was tried in May 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
