After-acquired Evidence Admissible to Bolster Employer's Termination Reasoning: Second Circuit | Practical Law
In Weber v. Tada, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in a summary order, affirmed a district court's grant of summary judgment for an employer on an employee's race discrimination claims. The Second Circuit found that the district court did not err in allowing the employer's use of evidence of an employee's misconduct during his employment, discovered after the employee's termination, to confirm the nondiscriminatory reason for his termination.
