	Greenbaum v. Svenska Handelsbanken NY
		Plaintiff Victoria Greenbaum sued her former employer, Svenska Handelsbanken, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §2000e et seq., and the New York City Human Rights Law, NYC Admin.
		See id. Second, relying in part on district court case law holding that the determination of whether a corporation had sufficient employees to be an "employer" under Title VII did not include foreign-based employees should not count towards the number of employees used to determine the punitive damages cap.
		The Court thus finds that the proper "respondent" for purposes of the §1981a(b)(3) is the parent bank, Svenska Handelsbanken, A.B. Further, under the Second Circuit's ruling in Morelli, the entire worldwide employment of SHB is to be counted.
