Oakley对Dolan的诉讼失败, 联邦上诉法院介入后于2023年部分恢复原判。
The ruling follows Oakley’s failed lawsuit against Dolan, which was partially revived in 2023 after a federal appeals court intervened.

The fees were awarded after Oakley failed to preserve relevant text messages from the incident, forcing Dolan’s legal team to spend over $1.3 million trying to recover them.
虽然Dolan的律师要求150万美元,但法官由于开具账单前后不一致而减少了这笔金额。
