A New York appeals court has ruled that Madison Square Garden can ban lawyers who are suing them from attending events at its venues
New bill introduced to stop major venues from using facial recognition technology to keep people out that work for companies that have lawsuits out against them. NBC New York's Sarah Wallace reports.
"It’s like something out of ‘The Godfather,’ it’s like ‘It’s only business.’ It’s not only business, and if you sue us, we’re gonna tell you not to come," Dolan continued."If you’re grandstanding with the press, et cetera, I’m gonna tell you: Go ahead, take away my liquor license. People are still going to come to the games."
Madison Square Garden Entertainment responded to the letter, saying that their policy"does not unlawfully prohibit anyone from entering our venues and it is not our intent to dissuade attorneys from representing plaintiffs in litigation against us. We are merely excluding a small percentage of lawyers only during active litigation." A spokesperson added the policy"has never applied to attorneys representing plaintiffs who allege sexual harassment or employment discrimination.
Kelly Conlon is an associate with the New Jersey based law firm, Davis, Saperstein and Solomon, which for years has been involved in personal injury litigation against a restaurant once owned by Tao, and later acquired by MSG Entertainment. But Conlon said she herself doesn't practice law in New York, and is not an attorney working on any cases involving MSG.
A sign at Radio City Music Hall stated that facial recognition is used as a security measure to ensure safety for guests and employees. Conlon says she posed no threat, but the guards still kicked her out with the explanation that they knew she was an attorney.
