US EditionNevada Supreme Court Sides with Ex-Las Vegas Raiders Coach Gruden in NFL Lawsuit
NEVADA, AUG 12 – Nevada Supreme Court found NFL’s arbitration clause unconscionable and ruled Jon Gruden’s lawsuit alleging deliberate email leaks can proceed in court, blocking league’s attempt to force arbitration.
- The Nevada Supreme Court ruled 5-2 on Monday that Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL cannot be forced into arbitration, allowing it to proceed in court.
- Gruden filed the 2021 lawsuit alleging the NFL and Commissioner Goodell leaked emails containing offensive language to push for his Raiders firing in 2021.
- The court found the NFL's arbitration clause unconscionable for a former employee, citing a conflict of interest since Goodell would oversee arbitration tied to his own actions.
- Gruden's lawyer Adam Hosmer-Henner stated that the recent decision not only supports Coach Gruden's good name but also paves the way for promptly achieving a just outcome for him and ensuring accountability for the NFL.
- The ruling marks an important legal victory for Gruden, allowing his case to proceed publicly, while the NFL is anticipated to seek review from the highest court in the country.
