Question

Michelle Fleshner worked for Pepose Vision Institute (PVI), a surgical practice. She was fired after she provided information to the U.S. Department of Labor about PVI's overtime pay policy. She sued for wrongful termination, and the jury awarded her $125,000. After the trial, a juror told PVI's attorneys that another juror had made anti-Semitic statements during jury deliberations. The comments concerned a witness who testified on PVI's behalf. According to the juror, the other juror said, about the witness: "She is a Jewish witch." "She is a penny-pinching Jew." "She was such a cheap Jew that she did not want to pay Plaintiff unemployment compensation." Another juror confirmed the remarks. PVI filed a motion for a new trial on the basis of juror misconduct. The trial judge held that the comments did not prevent a fair trial from occurring.

Who is the plaintiff?

Answer 1

Michelle Fleshner is the Plaintiff

Step-by-step explanation:

A Plaintiff

A plaintiff represents an individual in a law case who sues another person or party because of misconduct or unjust behaviour.

Michelle Fleshner worked with Pepose Vision Institute and was fired simply for providing the U.S. Department of Labour about her employer's overtime pay policy.

Her job was wrongfully terminated on the basis of the evidence given to the government, therefore she sued for the wrongful termination of her job.
