Commonwealth v. Tidwell

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that the docking of plaintiff’s pay and her subsequent termination can each be considered adverse employment actions
• finding that where employee’s supervisor grabbed her buttock, “[t]his single incident of contact is sufficient to constitute the creation of a hostile work environment”
• allowing NYCHRL discrimination claim to go forward against supervisors directly where failure to take remedial action could be found to constitute direct involvement in creation of hostile work environment
• whether retaliation was a but-for cause is \particularly poorly suited to disposition by summary judgment\
• “Plaintiff nonetheless has the burden of showing that the … conduct complained of was caused by a discriminatory motive.”
• “Individual employees may be held liable under NYCHRL if they actually participated in the conduct giving rise to the discrimination claim.”
