Appeals court restores NFL Sunday Ticket liability verdict; damages face a new trial

Deadline reports that a Ninth Circuit panel reinstated the jury’s liability verdict in the Sunday Ticket antitrust case but upheld a new trial on damages. A jury had awarded $4.7 billion before a district judge set aside the verdict. The appeals court found that the judge wrongly excluded subscriber expert testimony but agreed that the jury improperly considered it when awarding damages. The NFL said it was disappointed and was considering seeking further appellate review.
