Case: Horgan v. Simmons 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 36915 (N.D.III.)- Opinion by district judge Castillo:
CASE QUESTIONS
1. What were the legal issues in this case? What did the court decide?
2. On what basis does the court conclude that this employee is disabled? If the court had not found him to have an actual disability, would he have been able to successfully argue that he was "regarded as" having a disability?
3. Why was the employer's questioning of this employee illegal? If, as it appears, the termination was based on the employee's disability, is there any way the employer could defend its actions?
4. Why do you think the company president acted as he did?
