Lack of exact diagnosis didn’t defeat employee’s ADA claim, 10th Circuit says

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district court's dismissal of an EEOC disability discrimination suit against A&A Appliance, Inc. The appeals court said a formal diagnosis is not required for an employer to be on notice of a disability, and that a reasonable jury could find the employer knew of the employee's condition and that her leave request was reasonable. The ruling sends the case back for further proceedings.
