内华达州最高法院驳回了NFL的要求, 让Gruden的诉讼针对联盟因邮件泄漏而泄露的电子邮件进行。
Nevada Supreme Court denies NFL’s request, letting Gruden’s lawsuit proceed against league over leaked emails.
内华达州最高法院一致驳回了NFL关于重审Jon Gruden诉讼的请求,
The Nevada Supreme Court has unanimously denied the NFL’s request for a rehearing in Jon Gruden’s lawsuit, allowing his case to move forward.
法院裁定,强迫Gruden将他对Roger Goodell专员的索赔要求进行仲裁是不合情理的,因为法院维持了一项先前的决定,即NFL的仲裁条款不适用于他作为前雇员。
The court ruled it would be unconscionable to force Gruden to arbitrate his claims against Commissioner Roger Goodell, upholding a prior decision that the NFL’s arbitration clause does not apply to him as a former employee.
这项裁决为发现真相扫清了道路, 让Gruden能够向包括Goodell在内的联盟寻求文件和证词, 以调查关于NFL策划泄露他过去种族主义、性别歧视和仇视同性恋的电子邮件以破坏职业生涯的指控。
The ruling clears the way for discovery, enabling Gruden to seek documents and testimony from the league, including Goodell, to investigate allegations that the NFL orchestrated the leak of his past racist, sexist, and homophobic emails to damage his career.
虽然法院没有就泄漏是否发生作出裁决,但该决定对寻求损害赔偿和问责的Gruden来说是一个重大的程序性胜利。
While the court did not rule on whether the leaks occurred, the decision is a major procedural win for Gruden, who seeks damages and accountability.
NFL可向美国最高法院提出上诉。
The NFL may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
