Age discrimination claims.

The Appellate Division affirmed the denial of defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's City Human Rights Law claim based on age discrimination, as the evidence, including plaintiff's own testimony as corroborated by three witnesses, raises issues of fact as to whether plaintiff was treated differently or less well than other employees because of her age. Contrary to defendants' contention, plaintiff does not need to show an adverse employment action in order to establish a prima facie case of discrimination under the City Human Rights Law.
