Federal Case

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “The more idiosyncratic or questionable the employer’s reason, the easier it will be to expose it as a pretext....”
• “unreasonable and speculative inferences” cannot be allowed to bottom a civil rights action
• \ERISA was primarily intended to protect the interests of plan beneficiaries and participants\ so a bias in the standard in favor of those parties is appropriate
• “It is not enough ... to show that the employer made an unwise business decision, or ... acted arbitrarily or with ill will. These facts ... do not necessarily show that age was a motivating factor”
• “ERISA was primarily intended to protect the interests of plan beneficiaries and participants; therefore, such a ‘bias’ in the standard does not thwart the legislative injunctive that attorney’s fees may be awarded to ‘either’ party in the court’s discretion.”
