Newsmax: Judge Calls Out Trump's False Statute of Limitations Claim in Fraud Case | Andrew Lieb Analysis

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins Newsmax to break down highlights from a court hearing where Donald Trump made claims about the statute of limitations throwing out 80% of fraud cases against him. Lieb provides an analysis on the judge's statements and how they differ from what Trump said. He explains that while evidence from before 2014 can't be the sole basis of a case, it can still be used if it's tied to ongoing conduct. This ruling leaves Trump in a difficult position as he now has to find a way to overcome an existing summary judgment against him for statutory fraud under Executive Law 63.

Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Breaks Down the Key Arguments in the Amazon Antitrust Lawsuit

Attorney Andrew Lieb, a legal analyst, joins Newsmax to breakdown the key arguments on both sides of the major antitrust lawsuit filed against Amazon. In this mock trial segment, Andrew Lieb plays the role of defending Amazon while Erin Elmore argues for the FTC.

The lawsuit alleges that Amazon operates as an illegal monopoly and engages in anti-competitive behavior designed to crush competition. Specifically, it accuses Amazon of replacing relevant search results with paid advertisements favoring its own brands and penalizing sellers that don't use Amazon's shipping methods.

Some specific points Andrew made on behalf of Amazon include:

  • Amazon has over 500,000 independent retailers selling on its platform, showing it creates competition rather than stifling it.
  • 80% of retail shopping still occurs in physical stores, so Amazon exists in less than 20% of the overall market. 
  • Amazon offers retailers on its site reduced shipping costs compared to competitors, helping small businesses.

Pay Transparency in Job Applications Regulation Proposed in NY

The New York Department of Labor has proposed a new rule intended to increase pay transparency in accordance with Labor Law 194-b, which statute (not the new rule) first becomes effective 9/17/2023. 

Key Proposals:

·       Employers are now required to include a range of compensation on job postings.

·       The rule would not apply to government agencies or “Temporary Help Firms”.

·       The Range of Compensation cannot be open ended, i.e. “$20 per hour and up”, it needs a "good faith" minimum and maximum. Good faith means the amount the employer legitimately believes they are willing to pay a successful applicant at the time the job is posted. 

·       Any current or potential employee affected by a violation can file a complaint under the proposed rule, as can the Commissioner of the Department of Labor. 

 

Why it Matters:

·       The range of compensation can’t include other forms of compensation; i.e., $18 per hour plus $10 per hour in expected tips cannot be posted as $28 per hour. This is good for employees because it reduces the risk of employee exploitation.

·       The rule is not overly restrictive for employers; it allows them to adjust the range of compensation after collecting additional information through the hiring process.

·       The rule is a good effort at striking a balance between the rights and needs of employees and employers. 

 

Public comment can be made until November 12, 2023 at email: regulations@labor.ny.gov




 




FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb Breaks Down New Mexico's Controversial Temporary Gun Ban

Andrew Lieb, a legal political analyst, discusses New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's temporary ban on guns in public places with an emergency public health order. Lieb analyzes the order from both a political and constitutional perspective. He notes that while the order may be politically controversial, it attempts to fit within the "sensitive places" doctrine outlined in recent Supreme Court gun rights cases. The order will likely face legal challenges but could force further definition of what constitutes a "sensitive place." Overall, Lieb argues the order highlights the urgent need to address gun violence as a public health crisis through multi-pronged solutions.

Employees Protected from Political Viewpoint Discrimination by Employers

Effective 9/6/2023, employees in NYS have greatly expanded rights to freedom of speech and conscience. Employees can now avoid their employer's views on politics or religion. This is huge. 

Specifically, A6604, amends Labor Law 201-d, which prohibits employment discrimination for political activities and recreational activities. Under the law, an employee can sue for equitable relief and damages. 


Key Amendments 

Now, the law defines:

"Political matters" as "matters relating to elections for political office, political parties, legislation, regulation and the decision to join or support any political party or political, civic, community, fraternal or labor organization."


"Religious matters" as "matters relating to religious affiliation and practice and the decision to join or support any religious organization or association." 


Under the amended law, employers cannot force employees to attend meetings or listen to / view communications primarily designed to express the employer’s opinions on Religious matters or Political matters.


There is also a notification requirement where employers must post a sign in workplaces informing employees of their rights as per this section.








Att'n Employers Wage Theft is NOW Larceny in NYS

Effective 9/6/2023, employers who steal wages are guilty of larceny under Penal Law 155. 


Per the bill's, A154A, justification, "[a]ccording to Cornell University's Worker Institute, wage theft in New York accounts for nearly $1 billion in lost wages each year and affects tens of thousands of workers - that's close to $20 million per week."


Yet, employees who experience wage theft should also remember that they can bring civil claims to get that stolen money back through the New York Labor Law and Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, together with liquidated damages and more. 


That means that if your employer takes your money or doesn't pay as frequently as required or doesn't pay overtime, you have rights to sue for your Wages and Hours.

Newsmax: Elon Musk vs. Anti-Defamation League: Free Speech Fight or Frivolous Lawsuit? Attorney Andrew Lieb Trial

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins Newsmax National Report Court show to discuss a potential defamation lawsuit threatened by Elon Musk against the Anti-Defamation League.

Lieb also noted that as public figures, Musk would need to prove actual malice by the ADL to have a case. He believed this threatened lawsuit appeared frivolous and intended to silence free speech.
