WR PROPERTY LLC v. TOWNSHIP OF JACKSON, NEW JERSEY

**The Dispute** This case involved a worker who filed a discrimination lawsuit under Title VII (federal anti-discrimination law) after receiving permission from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to sue their employer. The employer, Kean Miller LLP, argued that the worker waited too long to file the lawsuit and asked the court to throw out the case entirely. **The Court's Decision** The court refused to dismiss the case at this early stage, allowing it to move forward. However, the court noted there was still a serious question about whether the worker met the strict 90-day deadline for filing a lawsuit after receiving their "right-to-sue" notice from the EEOC. This timing issue would need to be resolved later in the case. **What This Means for Workers** This ruling highlights a crucial deadline that workers must follow when pursuing discrimination claims. After the EEOC gives you permission to sue (called a "right-to-sue letter"), you have exactly 90 days to file your lawsuit in court. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to pursue your discrimination claim entirely, even if you have a strong case on the merits.
