In December 1997, the Birmingham District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Outrigger Restaurant, Inc. and Employer Accounting Services Com. Inc.in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, alleging that the defendants violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by subjecting employees to racial harassment and a segregated work place. In August 1998, fifteen charging parties intervened in the suit. The charging parties also alleged violations of Section 1983. On February 8, 1999, Defendant Skilstaf filed a cross-claim against Defendant Outrigger Restaurant alleging that they should not be held responsible for teh racial discrimination perpetrated by Outrigger Restaurant and therefore claims indeminfication against Outrigger for all claims made by the plaintiffs in this case.

The EEOC settled its claims with the defendants in September 1999 through a consent decree. Defendants agreed to pay $150,000 to the plaintiffs as well as develop a harassment policy and complaint procedure, provide training to managers, keep records of the people hired including their race and position, advertise jobs in newspapers using the phrase "equal opportunity employer" and reach out to African American community groups to state Defendant's desire to recruit African American workers.

On June 10, 2000 the Court found in favor of Skilstaf on its cross claim for indemnification against Outrigger in the sum of $248,828.32. Outrigger appealed that judgment and on June 19 the Court reduced the amount to $14,924.79.
