Interesting read on a trend in the legal space. Plaintiff lawyers and state attorneys general are litigating antitrust cases against big business with judges increasingly ruling for plaintiffs. In the past, Judges tended to have read antitrust law in a very narrow way preventing cases from moving forward - that seems to be changing. thebignewsletter.com/p/the-peo #lawsuit #monopoly #plaintiff #antitrust #bigbusiness #litigation

#SanFrancisco Superior Court #Judge rejects #Cupertino based #AppleComputer #legal efforts to stifle female #employee #lawsuit over alleged illegal #SexDiscrimination.

A female employee discovered a male colleagueโ€™s #TaxReturn form that showed him making $10k more for performing the same job title, a violation of California's landmark #EqualPayAct . Another #litigant hired a third party firm to investigate her #WageClaims and proved she was receiving less pay than male colleagues, and when Apple agreed to her raise, refused her any #BackPay for the years during which she was consistently paid less than men performing similar work.

The court found #Plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that Appleโ€™s #salary decisions were made in a centralized location pursuant to a #chauvinistic #employment compensation scheme that clearly perpetuates pay disparities due to #GenderBias.

The lawsuit could receive #ClassAction status as there are more than 12,000 female #APPL employees in #California potentially impacted by secret pact under ultimate leadership of #TimCook and cabal of other misogynistic policy enforcing execs.

#Plaintiff #legalteam include lawyers from three firms: Altshuler Berzon LLP, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC, and Outten & Golden LLP.

#SCOTUS unanimously rules against #USgovt in #NoFlyList case where man sued over being placed on it for refusing to become an #informant, and after #plaintiff was tortured and later reinstated, US wanted his #lawsuit dropped, saying the case was #moot any information used against him was #classified. #SCOTUS has ruled that his case has merit, man can seek redress, US cannot evade legal scrutiny despite US alleged #topsecret evidentiary concerns.

Robert: โ€œThe evidence is clear that (#EricTrump & #DonaldTrumpJr) had no real involvement in theโ€ฆstatements of financial condition.โ€

(Only if itโ€™s ignored)

#NYAG atty Kevin Wallace spoke in opposition to the defendants' bid to end this case.

Wallace said #Trump et al have failed to meet the standard for a #DirectedVerdict. Under #NY #law, when a judge considers such a motion, they must consider every inference in the light most favorable to the #plaintiff, in this case the state.

Excellent warning about a story not getting the traction it deserves. Trump-appointed judge flips reality & silences truth, validates conspiracy theorists, all in one deadly swoop.

A #woman is #suing the #IslandHouseResort in #KeyWest #for alleged #discrimination

The resort's #owners and #attorneys say they do #rent separate #apartment units to #women, but they didn't allow the #plaintiff to stay there because she was #disruptive during an #annualfundraiser that welcomes #women to the #resort for a #cocktailparty around the #poolarea, as per Keys Weekly.
