(Reuters) - U.S. electric carmaker Tesla Inc won its case
against a former employee, who was fired for hacking and
transferring company data to third parties, according to court
documents filed on Thursday.
Tesla had filed a lawsuit against Martin Tripp, who formerly
worked at the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada, in 2018 claiming that
he had admitted to writing software that hacked the carmaker's
manufacturing operating system, transferring several gigabytes
of its data to third parties and making false claims to the
media.
The U.S. district court of Nevada said in its ruling that it
will grant Tesla's motions to seal "because compelling reasons
support them, and they are unopposed."
The court also denied Tripp's motion for leave to file an
additional reply citing it as "unnecessary".
Tesla, Tripp and the law firms leading the case did not
immediately respond when Reuters contacted them late on
Thursday.
