Feldman v. Law Enforcement Associates Corp.
District Court, E.D. North Carolina (2011) | 779 F. Supp. 2d 472; 24 Am. Disabilities Cas. (BNA) 749; 18 Wage & Hour Cas.2d (BNA) 1100; 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 24994; 2011 WL 891447
TL;DR: Former executives sued their employer alleging ADA violations and SOX whistleblower retaliation. The court largely denied dismissal, finding plaintiffs plausibly alleged disability under the ADAAA and protected whistleblowing activity under SOX occurring pre-termination.
Legal Significance: This case illustrates the ADAAA's broadened definition of "disability," including episodic conditions and severe temporary impairments, and clarifies that SOX whistleblower protection for reporting fraud extends to internal control deficiencies but is limited to pre-termination conduct.
