Case Details
A western Pennsylvania municipality prevailed in an age and gender discrimination claim filed by an unsuccessful candidate for Police Chief. The Borough successfully defended the appeal after being subjected to over three years of litigation.
Additional Notes
The state trial court agreed with the federal courts when it granted summary judgment in favor of the Borough... The Court affirmed dismissal for other reasons; primarily on the basis that the Borough Council had articulated legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons to support its decision to promote a younger, female candidate already employed by the Borough than the older, male candidate from outside the organization.
