A lawsuit by a former assistant counsel to ex-New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, has recently been partially revived by a New York appeals court. The lawsuit alleges that the lawyer was fired in retaliation for his participation in a sexual harassment investigation led by the New York attorney general directed at the former governor.
The suit’s partial revival comes after its initial dismissal in lower courts. The appeals court’s decision revives a critical legal question concerning the protection laws, designed to shield whistleblowers from retaliation, afforded to the assistant counsel in his professional capacity.
Key details about this developing lawsuit, including its possible implications for anti-retaliation laws, can be found on the original article.
