Charter Communications is confronting a lawsuit from Princess M. Harper, a disabled woman, who claims the company did not reasonably accommodate her work-from-home request. The U.S. District Court in New York, led by Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford, has denied Charter's motion for summary judgment, indicating that significant factual questions remain. Judge Crawford noted that evidence regarding Harper's medical conditions could imply that Charter did not fulfill its obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which potentially jeopardizes the company's defense in the case.
Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford's ruling emphasizes that there are genuine issues of material fact in the lawsuit against Charter Communications regarding reasonable accommodation for disabled employees.
The court's opinion suggests that evidence presented about Princess M. Harper's medical conditions may demonstrate that Charter failed in its duties as per the Americans with Disabilities Act.
