Cornwell v. Robinson

How courts have described this case

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

• ruling that there was no mistake of identity when plaintiff failed to name certain defendants in original complaint whose identities she knew, as evidenced by an exhibit attached to the complaint
• finding that the continuous practice and policy of discrimination by defendant must be experienced by the plaintiff
• finding a continuing violation despite the break in the chain of events because the three-year hiatus in harassment was a direct result of plaintiffs debilitating illness, which defendants caused
• continuing violation occurred where plaintiff “suffered the same kinds of harassment at the hands of some of the same” individuals
• finding claim timely where a specific individual was subjected to defendant’s continuing discriminatory practices
• “holding that, where a plaintiff ‘knew the identities’ of the defendants she proposed to add to her complaint, ‘her failure to [sue] them in the original complaint, in light of her obvious knowledge[,] . . . . must be considered a matter of choice, not mistake”
