The trial court granted the Commission's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Vega failed to state actionable claims for aiding/abetting and retaliation because the Commission's delay did not constitute substantial encouragement to her former employer nor an actionable adverse impact on Vega, as her ability to pursue a private action was ultimately preserved.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","governmental-immunity"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=220040","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/barbara-vega-v-missouri-commission-on-human-rights-d87191","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law","text: retaliation","text: discrimination","text: employer"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
