New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of Miller Brewing Company v. State Division of Human Rights

December 17, 198566 N.Y.2d 937

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's order and remanded the case to the State Division of Human Rights. The court held that Miller failed to meet its burden to rebut the presumption of age discrimination by presenting legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons, and therefore the matter must be sent back for further proceedings.
