An issue that has plagued the Supreme Court in the past is whether and in what circumstances a Title VII plaintiff may state a claim for relief based on present day harm suffered as the result of the lingering effects of discriminatory acts that occurred outside of Title VII’s limitation period. On May 29, the U.S. Supreme Court resolved this issue when it handed down its decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., denying the right of an employee to file a claim for salary discrimination under an interpretation of the time frame required by the EEOC.
