Doherty v. Town of Lewisboro

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a handful of incidents over a few years is neither frequent, physically threatening, nor humiliating
• holding that the intolerability element of a constructive discharge claim requires “a greater severity or pervasiveness of harassment than the minimum required to prove a hostile work environment”
• holding that the Supreme Court set forth “steep requirements” for hostile work environment claims
• finding that statements the plaintiff learned about second-hand, while racially offensive, ultimately were too remote in time relative to each other to be pervasive
• holding that the plaintiff’s “claim about annual reviews fail[ed] the third requirement of a disparate treatment claim” since the plaintiff offered no evidence indicating that the absence of annual reviews adversely affected the terms, benefits, or conditions of his employment
• explaining that the mere showing that a reasonable person “would have viewed resignation as the wisest or best decision” is not intolerability
