LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the jury award of more than $100,000 to a woman who successfully argued that Omaha’s Metropolitan Utilities District discriminated against her.

The opinion Friday came in the case of Kristina Hartley, who successfully sued the gas and water utility for gender discrimination. The jury last year agreed with Hartley that MUD wrongly passed her over for promotion to give the job to a less-qualified man.

MUD appealed, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support the jury’s verdict and that the trial court should have allowed post-promotional performance evaluations of Hartley. It also said attorney fees of nearly $57,000 awarded to Hartley were excessive.

But the state’s high court dismissed those arguments Friday, adding that Hartley presented lots of evidence the jury found compelling.
