LaBlanc v. City of Stamford, CT Federal Court, Civ. No. B-88-63 (TFGD), 1990. Victoria de Toledo obtained a jury verdict for a captain of a fire department of approximately half a million dollars for not being promoted because of his age. Captain La Blanc was passed over, and a younger officer was promoted to the open deputy chief position. Although Captain La Blanc remained employed, the jury awarded him the difference in future earnings between the deputy chief position and the captain position he retained. The jury found willful discrimination which doubled the damages.
