A court ruling will allow Madison Square Garden to continue using facial recognition technology to bar people from entering the venue. Larry Hutcher — a Knicks season ticketholder for 47 years — was banned after his law firm sued MSG last fall.
The ruling means lifelong Knicks fan Larry Hutcher, who was banned from Madison Square Garden after his law firm sued the company last fall, won’t be allowed back into the arena any time soon. Hutcher was the lead attorney on a case against MSG brought by two dozen ticket resellers who alleged it had violated New York’s Arts and Cultural Affairs Law.
Though the appeals court overturned the earlier injunction, Hutcher took the ruling as a partial victory, saying the court rejected Madison Square Garden’s argument that the state’s civil rights laws didn’t apply at all. The matter will now return to the lower court for deliberation in the coming months.
A spokesperson for MSG Entertainment declined to comment on the record but said the company was pleased with the ruling.
