How courts have described this case

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

• noting that the argument that the failure to spell out the implications of a contract term renders the term ambiguous \conflates ambiguity and omission\
• finding that job transfer and discontinuance of a particular job assignment are not acts of a continuing nature
• finding that “NYSHRL substantially tracks Title VII, both in its requirement that plaintiffs mitigate their damages by seeking and accepting alternative employment ... and in the legislative purpose behind the law”
• observing that the continuing violations doctrine does not apply when there are only discrete acts of discrimination, such as termination, “that are unrelated to an identifiable policy or practice”
• finding that plaintiff's attempt to characterize the defendant's failure to compensate him adequately by not giving him a pay raise is unavailing because his entitlement arose at the time of his promotion
• declining \to adopt a per se rule prohibiting counsel from suggesting a specific sum as damages.\
