Employment Law

Millison v. DuPont. $1.4 Million Dollar Verdict in Punitive Damages for Concealment of Medical Records. David Jacoby defined New Jersey law when he successfully argued before the New Jersey Supreme Court that employees can directly sue their employer in Civil Court for money damages whenever the employer fraudulently conceals medical information. This rule does not apply to Workers' Compensation Court. The jury awarded $1.4 million in punitive damages against DuPont for fraudulently concealing Millison's medical records.

Rutledge v. SEPTA. Employees Entitled to Full Blown Hearings before dismissal in Collective Bargaining Agreements. Larry Cohan helped break new ground in collective bargaining agreement law. After his arguments, the Court decided that employees discharged while working under a Collective Bargaining Agreement are entitled, at a minimum, to a full blown hearing with the presentation of evidence and cross examination of witnesses prior to any final discharge.
