Dougherty v. Barry

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that members of the Department were entitled to monetary relief under Section 1981
• holding the “statutory language and structure contemplate that the [EEOC] will issue right to sue notices in cases involving a governmental unit when it does not find probable cause”
• observing that “ [c]ourts have tended to interpret Title VII as laying th[e] responsibility [for issuing right- to-sue notices in cases involving governmental entities] at the Attorney General’s door”
• indicating that where a party has established a basis for equitable tolling, such as inadequate notice, the lack of prejudice to the opposing party is an equitable factor that is appropriate for consideration in deciding whether to toll the limitations period
• suggesting equitable tolling could be warranted when either the court or agency misleads the plaintiff
• “[I]n unambiguous language, the right to sue notice declared that failure to sue within that time period would result in forfeiture of [appellees’] cause of action.’” (second alteration in original) (citation omitted)
