USA June 19 2009

In a significant victory for employers, the Supreme Court has ruled that a plaintiff in an age discrimination case under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq., has the burden of persuading the trier-of-fact that age was the “but-for” cause of the employer’s adverse decision and may not utilize the “mixed-motives” approach available to plaintiffs under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Gross v. FBL Financial Servs., Inc.,No. 08-441 (U.S. June 18, 2009).

What our clients say

"As a busy in-house practitioner, I rarely have the time to attend formal seminars and conferences. Consequently, I find the news releases put out by the various law firms invaluable in keeping me up to date on developments in the law and recent case law. The service that Lexology provides, through consolidating those various news releases and grouping them under the relevant categories, is a timesaver for me and allows me to do a quick daily scan of recent developments."
