The 5th US Circuit Court Of Appeals has ruled in favor of Richard Garriott, upholding a ruling from July 2010 that awarded the designer also known as Lord British $28 million based on the circumstances of his departure from the company in 2008. According to Develop, Garriott profited almost 15% from NCsoft's appeal, as the ruling is now for $32 million. Here's the court's comment: "It would be unjust to allow NCsoft to sit back during trial, observe Garriott's litigation strategy, and then demand a new trial on damages when it dislikes the verdict."
