Nevada Supreme Court Upholds Sands Lawsuit Decision

The Nevada Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling requiring that Las Vegas Sands Corp. turn over unaltered documents in the company’s legal dispute with Steve Jacobs. Attorneys for the Sands argued that not withholding personal information from the documents would violate Macau privacy laws.

The opinion, written by Chief Justice Mark Gibbons, rejects the Sands petition seeking to overturn the order issued by Clark County District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez. Gibbons was joined by three other justices.

Jacobs was let go as head of the company’s Macau operations in 2010 and is suing the Sands for breach of employment.
