On July 3, the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion that addressed the application of the U.S. Supreme Court's Desert Palace decision for the first time. Judge Clay wrote the majority opinion. Judge Gilman filed an opinion which concurred in part and dissented in part.
The decision was very favorable to employees. It acknowledged that most termination decisions do not involve a single motivation, and set out the analysis for cases where an employee is terminated for various reasons.
In my judgment, the decision makes employment discrimination cases much easier for employees. I've already talked with several lawyers and clients about the case. Give me a call if you have any questions.
