The United States Supreme Court on Thursday held that disparate impact claims are permissible under the Fair Housing Act of 1968, relying on the application of similar language in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), in a decision written by Justice Kennedy.
The Court's decision in Texas Dept. of Housing & Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc. extended the use of disparate impact claims to root out policies and other practices that have a discriminatory impact. More information on the decision can be found here.
