SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 13 – James F. Flaherty was working at Colony Capital when he was accused of sexual harassment.

He believes Colony should indemnify him in connection with an upcoming arbitration. Colony sued seeking to enjoin the June 14 arbitration proceeding. 

       On June 11, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alison J. Nathan held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

  Colony, it emerged, knew of the arbitration since May 2020 but only recently filed its case in SDNY.

Judge Nathan ruled that their timing was unfair to Flaherty and to the Court.

She denied the preliminary injunction and the arbitration will go forward.

The case is Colony Capital, Inc. v. Flaherty, 21-cv-4645 (Nathan)
