Citations: 56 N.Y.2d 608; 435 N.E.2d 1095; 450 N.Y.S.2d 480; 1982 N.Y. LEXIS 3280; 44 Fair Empl. Prac. Cas. (BNA) 316
Court: New York Court of Appeals; March 31, 1982; New York; State Supreme Court
The court reversed the order being appealed, reinstating the compensatory damage award from the New York City Commission on Human Rights. The evidence presented regarding pain, suffering, and mental anguish was deemed sufficient to uphold the commission’s determination concerning compensatory damages, referencing the precedent set in Batavia Lodge No. 196, Loyal Order of Moose v New York State Div. of Human Rights. The decision was concurred by Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg, and Meyer. Costs were awarded as part of the ruling.
