Jack in the Box has filed a request with a federal court in Oregon asking a judge to decline reinstating specific sections of a jury verdict related to a long-standing wage lawsuit. The company argues that a previous appeals court decision limits what can be restored.
The legal battle centers on employment issues, specifically categorized as civil rights regarding wages. The case was originally filed in July 2014 and has continued through multiple stages of litigation over the past several years.
While the chain is opposing the revival of these verdict components, the specific details of which parts are targeted or the exact nature of the appeals court's prior order were not fully detailed in the available reporting. The outcome of this latest motion remains pending before the judge.
Jack in the Box employs about 25 people in Princeton, according to local government records.
