No specific laws identified for this ruling.
The court denied the defendants' judicial estoppel defense, finding that defendants failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the plaintiff intentionally concealed his EEOC charges in his bankruptcy petition. The plaintiff's failure to disclose was not intentional but rather resulted from his lack of knowledge that EEOC charges constituted disclosable assets and his bankruptcy attorney's failure to specifically inquire about employment disputes.
