Play time: 1:27
Denying employer's motion to enforce a mediated employment discrimination settlement, where totality of the evidence established a coercive atmosphere around the execution of the settlement, including specifically that plaintiff was advised by her own attorney that "she would have to pay $10,000 and would lose her home if she did not settle the case" and that she would not get a fair trial because the court is unsympathetic to employment plaintiffs.
