#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 colleagueβs #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 Appleβs #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.

A #Venezuelan govt controlled bank in #Miami was embattled in a #shareholder court case with #political implications that challenged directors of the #banking empire connected to the #Maduro regime. A #jury found on June 27 that two directors breached their fiduciary duty of care to the bank and hit them with a fine, but a fraction of the $27 million sought by #litigants. βThe jury only awarded damages amounting to less than 3% of what the plaintiffs were seekingβ$800,000, instead of the $27 million requested at trial. Thatβs essentially a slap on the wrist from the jury,β said defense #counsel Evan Stroman, a partner at #DiazReus.
βAny day where you help prevent an illegal authoritarian regime in #Venezuela from penetrating the United States banking system and hold those accountable for assisting that regime is a good day,β Derek E. LeΓ³n, the #plaintiffs' attorney, said.

Another jury rules against Trump
Over the past year, Trump has railed against the #prosecutors who have investigated and charged him, the #plaintiffs who have sued him and the #judges who have overseen his trials.
But the nine-person #jury didnβt blink. It awarded Carroll $18.3 million in compensatory damages.
It was the punitive damages, however, that landed Carroll such an astronomical sum: $65 million.
The verdict is significant not just for the monetary damages, but also for
πthe message it sends:
that a jury of regular citizens did not believe Trump
β not Democratic-appointed prosecutors or judges or the administration of his likely 2024 political opponent, Joe Biden
