How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- suggesting that, in a suit under Section 504, \damages for emotional distress [might] be justified to punish patent misbehavior or the deliberate infliction of humiliation\
- holding that plaintiff was not entitled to damages for emotional distress when there was no allegation of economic loss and “not the slightest hint that [the defendant] was prompted by malice or hostility toward [the plaintiff] or toward the disabled”
- seemingly applying a much more difficult standard when it rejected an ADA claim because there was “not the slightest hint that the [defendant] was prompted by malice or hostility toward [the plaintiff] or toward the disabled”
- “The disability statutes were meant to counter mistaken assumptions, no matter how dramatic or widespread.”
