Ailes Ends Attempt To Get Carlson Suit Decided By NY Fed Court
After arguing that New Jersey was an improper venue for former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson's suit accusing him of sexual harassment, former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes agreed to drop his effort to transfer the suit's venue to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In a stipulation he filed jointly with Carlson in August, Ailes also agreed to withdraw his petition in the Southern District to compel arbitration of the dispute if the judge hearing the New Jersey case approves the agreement. Carlson, for her part, consented to proceeding before the American Arbitration Association in New York City if U.S. District of New Jersey Judge Jose Linares, who is hearing the case, determines that her claims are subject to arbitration. Carlson's consent to arbitration is subject to the right to appeal, says the stipulation.
