Barbour v. Merrill

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that for a court to award back pay, “the plaintiff bears the initial burden of establishing the value of the lost salary and benefits”
• evaluating the plaintiff’s argument that his back pay award should reflect the salary of the individual occupying the position he would have occupied, but for discrimination
• district court abuses its discretion if “the reasons given [do not] reasonably support the conclusion” (quoting Kickapoo Tribe, 43 F.3d at 1497)
• issue of qualification was question of fact for jury where “the jury reasonably could have determined, from the evidence before it ... that Barbour was qualified and that private sector experience was not an absolute prerequisite”
• “The defendant remains free to challenge the award’s amount, length, or interest rate, or to establish as an affirmative defense that the plaintiff failed to mitigate damages.”
• “But Barbour is not necessarily entitled to the identical compensation as Rich.”
