How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “While Congress’s intent would be clearer if the FMLA included the word ‘legal’ to label damages ..., the FMLA’s division between ‘damages’ and ‘equitable relief still indicates an intent to make juries available.”
- plaintiff can also avoid summary judgment by producing evidence that the defendant treated the plaintiff worse because of her gender, that is, evidence that tends to establish intentional discrimination
- “Congress intended the remedial provisions of the FMLA to mirror those in the FLSA”
