Media mogul Byron Allen given the green light to move forward with his $10 billion lawsuit against McDonald's...
From Variety
A federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by media entrepreneur Byron Allen seeking $10 billion alleging racial discrimination by fast food giant McDonald’s can proceed to trial.
United States District Judge Fernando M. Olguin found in what he termed a “close call” that Allen’s claims that the fast-food chain promoted “racial stereotyping” by not advertising with Black-owned media ought to be addressed by a jury.
“At a minimum, this is the type of case where the ‘trial court is permitted, in its discretion, to deny even a well-supported motion for summary judgment, if it believes the case will benefit from a full hearing,’” Olguin said in a 25-page order.
