Jennifer Harris v. FedEx Corporate Services, Inc.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 23-20035 · judgment February 1, 2024
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Fifth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
Whether a maximum recovery rule limiting verdicts of intangible compensatory damages should be bound by a percentage of a prior amount approved by the court of appeals. Whether a contractual provision reducing the limitation on filing a lawsuit under the Civil Rights Act of 1866 from four years to six months is enforceable.
