 | | CLI appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, arguing, among other things, that plaintiff failed to prove that she was "disabled" within the meaning of the ADA and that, even if she had, the ADA capped all of her compensatory and punitive damages at $300,000. |
 | | In this regard, the court explained that plaintiff had provided, among other things, expert and lay witness testimony that her MS produced her fatigue which significantly limited her ability to concentrate and remember and that her supervisor recognized these problems she was experiencing. |
 | | Ultimately, the Third Circuit's ruling in Gagliardo virtually eliminates that aspect of Section 1981a that sought to reasonably limit the size of jury awards in federal employment discrimination cases whenever a substantially similar claim can be successfully maintained under state law. |
