Case Summary

On September 30, 2004, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), on behalf of an African American employee (plaintiff-intervenor), filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Maryland under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, against Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. The EEOC sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and other forms of affirmative relief, claiming that the defendant did not promote the plaintiff-intervenor because of his race.

On April 28, 2005, the complainant filed a motion to intervene and a complaint as plaintiff-intervenor. On December 17, 2007, the District Court (Judge Benson Everett Legg) entered a consent decree where the defendant, among other things, agreed to promote the plaintiff-intervenor to a higher-paying position as well as pay him $60,500.
