Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Hollywood's 'Power Couple', who filed a lawsuit against Former YouTube CEO Chad Hurley, for leaking their engagement video online, is allowed by the California appeals court to proceed, according to Rolling Stone.

The leaked video footage showed the rapper in an elaborate surprise marriage proposal to Kardashian, during her 33rd birthday despite a 'confidentiality agreement'.

The proposal took place in the San Francisco's AT&T Park, which was home of the Team Giants. Chicago kicked off a symphony with matching Jumbotron message that spelled out,

"PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!"

This event was supposed to be the highlight for the upcoming new season of the Kardashian's reality show, 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' and Hurley was there in attendance.

Hurley broke the clause of the contract and chose to upload the leaked footage to his video sharing site, MixBit. This action prompted Kardashian and West to file a lawsuit.

Hurley's legal representative stated that posting the video in MixBit didn't violate the confidentiality agreement. This was a loophole created by Hurley's team in defense of the filed complaint.

However, according to West and Kardashian, Hurley was found within the premises of the ar5ea where the proposal was held. He allegedly sneaked inside the venue, with intent of filming the proposal illegally. Hurley was made to sign a nondisclosure agreement, promising not to release the video and there was photographic evidence, which proved that he indeed signed the document.

The couple claimed that Hurley turned the footage into something profitable that also starred himself in it. He circulated the videos that were an exclusive property of someone else.

Kimye further claimed that Hurley, following failed attempts of making profit out of YouTube, wanted to jazz up Mixbit in order to  garner more attention in the internet.

Hurley's legal representative appealed the lawsuit last March but the 2nd District Court of Appeal upheld the ruling last April 22, due to sufficient evidence.
