NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION

Argued: February 13, 2001

In these appeals*fn1, we must consider whether New Jersey courts have subject-matter jurisdiction over claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C.A. � 227, by virtue of the general jurisdiction granted by the New Jersey Constitution or whether jurisdiction depends on the adoption of a statute or rule specifically permitting such actions in the courts of this State. In each case, the motion judge dismissed the complaints for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction on the basis that this State had not affirmatively adopted a statute or court rule to allow such actions. We reverse.
