On July 8, 2004, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), on behalf of a black female, filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Maryland, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, against Avado Brands, Inc. The EEOC sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and other forms of affirmative relief, claiming that the defendant violated the terms of a prior Negotiated Settlement Agreement with the plaintiffs due to a racially hostile work environment.
On September 15, 2004, the complainant filed a complaint as the plaintiff-intervenor. On October 13, 2005, the District Court (Judge Richard D. Bennett) entered a consent decree where the defendant, among other things, agreed to pay the complainant $9,166.21.
