Grasso wins round in fight for $187.5M compensation

NEW YORK (AP) — Former New York Stock Exchange chairman Richard Grasso has won a partial victory in his legal quest to keep his $187.5 million compensation package.

The New York Appellate Division in Manhattan threw out four rulings against Grasso on Tuesday that had been made by a lower court last year.

The high court has not yet addressed other issues at the heart of the dispute. They include whether Grasso is entitled to a jury trial, and whether he can be ordered to pay back the disputed money without any trial, as the lower court judge ordered. Another issue is whether the lower court judge should recuse himself; Grasso contends, among other things, that the judge, Charles Ramos, had tried years ago to become an NYSE board member.

The four rulings Grasso won, dealing with technical issues, were reversed on the grounds that the state attorney general did not have the authority to bring them in the first place.

Grasso's attorney, Gerson Zweifach, declined comment.
