The Kansas City Office of the EEOC filed this action in the District Court for the Western District of Missouri. The Defendant was Hardee's Food Systems, Inc., a fast-food chain. The controversy involved an alleged violation of the ADA, as the complainant was allegedly not hired because she had Treacher Collin Syndrome, a physiological disorder resulting in severe facial abnormalities. The lawsuit was filed on September 12, 2005 and was resolved by consent decree two days later. The complainant, who did not intervene in the case, was awarded $34,000. In addition, supervisory personnel were required to attend a training seminar, the company had to post a Notice, and prior to denying a disabled applicant for employment the company was required to contact the Job Accommodation Network. The decree was to last for one year.
