Summary Judgment on Judicial Estoppel Grounds in Discrimination, Retaliation Case
Obtained summary judgment in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, on judicial estoppel grounds to prevent a client’s former employee from proceeding with claims of discrimination and retaliation under the Missouri Human Rights Act. We persuaded the court that the plaintiff's failure to disclose the underlying charges of discrimination during his earlier Chapter 13 bankruptcy action constituted an inconsistent statement that prevented him from asserting such claims going forward.
