A Case for Patron System's Active Message Management in Code Conduct Enforcement
The Supreme Court decisions in the late 90's cases of Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton firmly establised what is termed the "Vicarious liability Rule". Though these cases dealt with sexual harassment in particular, the courts have extended the liability to include other forms of harrassment and discrimination as well. Wrongful termination suits and harassment or discrimination based on Title VII protections regarding race, color, sex (whether or not of a sexual nature), religion, national origin, protected activity, age, or disability are also subject to the Rule.
