How courts have described this case

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

• holding that sexual harassment “is one species of sex- or gender-based discrimination” and distinguishing “harassment cases” from “other terms-and-conditions cases”
• holding that the continuing violation doctrine did not apply to plaintiff’s NYCHRL claim because plaintiff failed to allege any “actionable conduct during the limitations period”
• stating that Gor-man had a good working relationship with Desmond and no reason to believe she was biased against him
• observing that the NYCHRL “assure[s] employers that summary judgment will still be available” where the alleged discriminatory conduct “could only be reasonably interpreted by a trier of fact as representing no more than petty slights or trivial inconveniences”
• rejecting the federal “severe and pervasive” standard as inconsistent with the NYCHRL’s “broad remedial purpose”
• indicating that a single comment could give rise to liability
