It's pretty damning if it is proven. Be on the lookout for a confidential settlement.
- bradleyjg 12y agoWhy would Lyft agree to a confidential settlement? The bad publicity for Uber is more valuable than whatever money they can get from their former employee.

- colinbartlett 12y agoI just think it's unlikely this comes to trial simply because of the evidence. And if it doesn't go to trial, that means a settlement and I think these sorts of things are customarily confidential. IANAL.
- anigbrowl 12y agoI'd think a court would be OK with sealing any documents containing Lyft's confidential information, after establishing the accuracy of the documents' description. The factual question is whether the defendant did in fact copy all that information as described, and there might be additional questions later about whether that information was passed to Uber, and if so, how that came to pass. If Lyft were to prevail and a jury was awarding damages, then it would be enough to know what sort of documents were taken to establish whether they were important commercial information or not, no?
- anigbrowl 12y agoNot just VanderZanden - notice they're also suing 'Does 1-10' which is lgal biolerplate for 'defendants we can't identify by name yet.' Uber executives or the firm itself could easily be named as co-defendants. I don't know how to assess the scope of the potential damages - while I don't think it would be fiscally catastrophic for Uber, it could get very very nasty.
