On Monday, August 23, 2010, Mr. Mason argued a Motion to Dismiss in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County.  Plaintiff sought actual damages, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and litigation costs against two (2) Mason Bahr clients in an employment litigation case.  Plaintiff alleged the violation of the Family Medical Leave Act, retaliation in Violation of Title VII, disparate treatment in Violation of Title VII, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.  Mr. Mason based Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss on Plaintiff’s failure to perfect service timely as to one Defendant, and the failure to perfect service against the other Defendant.  Following oral argument from both sides and the consideration of the pleadings, the Court granted Mr. Mason’s Motion to Dismiss as to both Defendants and dismissed Plaintiff’s case.
