314m what a joke! Still, good to see them lose this court case
If it could be repeated 49 times, that might start to add up a little
Always nice to see a positive outcome, let’s hope they lose the appeal.
I hate that this is how our legal system has evolved. Trial courts mean nothing when a corporation loses, because invariably an appeal is filed, and if the circuit court upholds a ruling, well, time to talk to SCOTUS.
You’d prefer to lose the right to appeal?
Not at all … it’s just that corporations, unwilling to take no for an answer, have functionally unlimited funds to throw toward several rounds of escalating court cases while defendants … don’t. It creates an inherently lopsided situation the legal system wasn’t explicitly designed for, but now this is just standard.
Companies walk into these trials essentially seeing the first round as a rehearsal.
Doesn’t the appellate court only accept the case if there’s an issue with the ruling in a lower court? It’s absolutely loaded, but it’s hard to see an alternative without giving up the right to appeal.
Not the ruling itself, but corporations file all sorts of motions before and during the initial trial specifically so that if a motion is denied, voila! Now the jury verdict and compensation decision isn’t what they’re challenging, but rather technical aspects from rulings by the judge overseeing the trial court … admission or inadmission of evidence is always a popular one.
To suggest that anyone else has the sort of law firms on retainer to play this game all the way to the top is folly. It’s just another way in which the system is rigged.

Does banking apps work on your cellphone?
Not OP but I’m also running GrapheneOS. After some initial difficulty I had with one of my banking apps I got everything to work just fine.
What does not work unfortunately is paying via google wallet or revolut.

Really just depends, one of my banking apps doesn’t work, but another bank’s app does work. When it comes to payment apps, I only use PayPal, which unfortunately doesn’t work for me either. They have a long GitHub list keeping track of what apps have been reported to be working.
