SDNY Grants Rare Interloctory Appeal

Interloctory appeals in the 2d Circuit are disfavored in the Second Circuit. Chen-Oster v Goldman Sachs, ___F. Supp. 2d____(S.D.N.Y. June 14, 2017), is a rare example of it being granted. The merits of the case involved employment discrimination and there were open legal questions that the Second Circuit has not yet addressed. Specifically, whether a former employee can see  injunctive and declaratory relief when she did not initially seek it. There were other issues involving Title VII remedies involved in this case as well.
