As expected, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Marla Miller on Monday raised the amount the
Weekly must pay in damages to the
San Francisco Bay Guardian, from $6.3 million to $15.9 million. Miller also issued a 10-year injunction, barring the
Weekly from selling display ads below cost, the
San Francisco Chronicle reports. In the lawsuit, the
Guardian accused the
Weekly and its parent company Village Voice Media of selling ads below cost with the intent of harming the
Guardian. A
jury ruled in favor of the
Guardian in March.
SF Weekly still plans to appeal. Read more on the latest ruling from
the Weekly and
the Guardian.
