District court denied defendants' motion in limine to preclude plaintiff's testimony regarding job performance, medical conditions, and bed rest during pregnancy in a Title VII pregnancy and gender discrimination case. The case was proceeding to trial as of the opinion date.
Singh v. Knuckles, Komosinski & Manfro, LLP
What Happened
Singh worked at a law firm and claimed she faced discrimination and was wrongfully fired because of her pregnancy. The employer tried to prevent Singh from testifying about her job performance, health conditions, and the bed rest her doctor prescribed during her pregnancy.
What the Court Decided
The judge rejected the employer's request to silence Singh's testimony. She was allowed to present evidence about her work performance, medical situation, and pregnancy-related bed rest. The case moved forward to trial, meaning a jury would ultimately decide if discrimination occurred.
Why This Matters for Workers
This ruling protects pregnant workers' ability to tell their side of the story in court. It confirms that employers cannot hide important facts about an employee's health or pregnancy status during legal disputes. Workers facing pregnancy discrimination now know they can speak openly about how their pregnancy affected their work and what their doctors required—evidence that could support their discrimination claims.
