4 rules of employment litigation
July 18, 2006 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
I had to laugh at this one.
Suits in the Workplace, an employment law blog out of California, tells about Alberigi v. Sonoma County, Cal. Super. Ct., No. SCV-233788 (06/20/2006): No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
It's the story of an employee with agoraphobia and panic disorder who applied for a job involving face-to-face interviewing. I'm not sure how this all landed in court, but a jury awarded him $6,000,000. The judge reduced that to $2,500,000.
Oh yes, the lawyer fee award was almost $900,000.
It's an interesting story, told with an immense sense of humor. Read it here: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
