How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “individual liability of a supervisor for acts of discrimination or for creating or maintaining a hostile work environment can only arise through the ‘aiding and abetting’ mechanism that applies to ‘any person.’”
• noting that although section 27(c) requires disclosure, it does not impose an absolute bar to employment
• stating that “the acts or failure to act by a supervisor who knew or should have known of the hostile environment” will be imputed to the employer
• explaining that forfeiture of public employment statute “is designed to preclude those who have once violated the public trust from having a second opportunity, and that it operates to prevent [those disqualified] officials from again holding office”
• distinguishing between a lack of individual liability under the NJLAD for co-employees and a lack of aiding and abetting liability
• concluding in case that did not involve a retaliation claim that “individual liability of a supervisor for acts of discrimination or for creating or maintaining a hostile environment can only arise through the ‘aiding and abetting’ mechanism that applies to ‘any person’”
