Christine Gibbons v. Betty Gibbs

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a single request for a relationship, four or five isolated incidents of hand touching, a request to draw a planter with an obvious sexual innuendo, and teasing was not enough to constitute a claim for hostile work environment
• reasoning that ten incidents of sexually inappropriate behavior was insufficient for the behavior to have affected a term or condition of plaintiff's employment
• finding that, even in the light most favorable to plaintiff, working conditions were not intolerable despite plaintiff being subjected to “offensive and disrespectful” sex-based harassment
• finding that multiple sexual advances and repeated sexually explicit behavior and comments by plaintiff’s supervisor over a period of more than three years was not sufficiently severe and pervasive
• rejecting the claim based on “four categories” of conduct involving nine or ten incidents
• finding no severe or pervasive harassment where male co-worker made a pass at Duncan who had to work with him for three years, suffering additional boorish behavior until she resigned
