How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that an employee who raised his subordinate’s sexual harassment complaints to his supervisor—and explicitly noted that “this girl alleges that she is being sexually harassed”—opposed unlawful employment practices through his conduct
  • finding that an employee “opposed” a supervisor’s harassment by, inter alia, speaking to the supervisor individually and eliciting a limited apology
  • concluding that plaintiff’s internal request for technical documents in preparation for upcoming FDA preapproval inspection did not amount to offering or attempting to offer information to a government authority within the meaning of Law No. 115
  • noting that “the timing often is strongly suggestive of retaliation” when “an adverse action follows hard on the heels of protected activity”
  • considering evidence of employee's positive work evaluations and concluding that genuine issue of material fact existed as to whether performance-problems justification was pretextual
  • finding temporal proximity of 11 days between first protected activity and termination sufficient to establish prima facie case
