This Law Firm Publication by Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP discusses the New York Appellate Division, First Department's decision in Melman v. Montefiore Medical Center, affirming the dismissal of the plaintiff physician's age discrimination and retaliation claims against a hospital under the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL). The discussion makes it clear that despite the broad protections of the NYCHRL, a discrimination claim will not survive summary judgment if the plaintiff does not present concrete evidence that the adverse action was motivated, at least in part, by discriminatory or retaliatory animus.
