One week into 2015 and the EEOC's overly aggressive tactics have been negated by federal courts two times.
- In EEOC v. Performance Food Group, Inc. the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland denied the EEOC’s efforts to impose harsh sanctions on an employer that the agency believed was late in complying with its discovery obligations. (Jan. 6, 2015)
- In EEOC v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. (11th Cir. Jan. 6, 2015), the EEOC failed to enforce an overbroad subpoena after having lost on that issue on three separate occasions: first before the Magistrate Judge, then before the District Court Judge, and then again on appeal before an Eleventh Circuit panel.
