Given the two possible outcomes:
1. Jury verdict is "NO" to CFAA violations.
2. Jury verdict is "YES" to CFAA violations and the jury award $0.
Is option (2) worse for Ryanair because it more negatively impacts any appeals process that they may have otherwise planned?
Does the award of $0 become a precedent which is stronger than option (1) in deterring would-be CFAA litigants of the future?
- lesuorac 2y agoYou cannot have option 2; jury instructions required that CFAA requires >= $5k of damages. ("If your answer to that question is no, do not answer the remaining questions in Section 1"). So, damages of 5k is strictly the lowest amount possible while also answering YES for CFAA.
