These cases always goes like this. Jury awards 1 billion dollars etc. It always gets revised by the judge later on. Is this any different?
- plus 3y agoThe judge cannot override the jury's ruling, so unless Google's appeal succeeds, the ruling stays.
- LordKeren 3y agoEpic didn’t sue for damages. They sued to get the rules changed. The jury did not award Epic any money. The judge will be deciding how Google must remedy the situation
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoYes, as your own comment points out. Juries determine questions of fact. That can't (for the most part, there are of course exceptions) be revised by a judge. The applied penalty is a very different thing, and can be and usually is revised by the judge.
- patmorgan23 3y agoUsually what happens is a point of law gets appealed and one of the chances of action gets thrown out and the penalty that was tied to it.
- MBCook 3y agoThe jury was only finding guilt, penalty has not happened yet so we don’t know what kind of fines or whatever Google will have to deal with.
