$1.7 Million Default Judgment Awarded In Age/Sex Discrimination Case
IL — Chicago woman awarded $1.7 by U.S. Magistrate Judge in age and sex discrimination suit. Her employer allegedly pulled her hair back and asked the 72-year old woman if she had had a face lift before terminating her employment. The district court had previously denied the employer’s motion for summary judgment. A copy of the opinion is here.
A review of the court’s docket shows that the judgment is actually a default judgment entered by the court. Apparently the employer had trouble maintaining legal counsel.
