2011
Ruling
Age Discrimination in Employment Act claim was subject to cap on damages resulting from claim for termination of employment contract.
Procedural posture
Debtor objected per 11 U.S.C.S. § 502(b)(7) to a $1 million proof of unsecured claim filed by counsel for a former employee who charged that debtor was liable for damages based on a wrongful termination that violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and RSA ch. 354- A (New Hampshire). A central issue was whether counsel was properly sanctioned per Bankr. S.D.N.Y. R. 9006-1 for having filed an out of-time response to the objection.
