Z.D. ex rel. J.D. v. Group Health Cooperative

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that gross negligence was sufficiently alleged where only negligence was asserted as a claim
• confirming that whether an entity is plaintiffs employer “is not appropriate for resolution as a pure matter of law, before discovery”
• noting that, where a plaintiff alleged an act of continuing retaliation and sex discrimination, her termination (or constructive discharge) was the “predictable culmination” of both “the earlier alleged course of discriminatory and retaliatory conduct”
• finding ongoing animus where employer failed to separate plaintiff from her harasser and issued poor performance reviews
• denying a motion to dismiss Title VII claims, including a retaliation claim, after determining that employer status is a fact-bound question better suited for summary judgment filed after discovery
• finding ongoing animus where a supervisor refused to quash rumors about plaintiff, refused to prevent contact between plaintiff and her alleged harasser, and gave plaintiff a poor performance review
