LISA DILLON v. HOMEOWNER’S SELECT, AFFINITY INSURANCE SERVICES, INC.,
No. 2969 EDA 2006 2008 PA Super 229 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 9/29/2008
Appeal from the Order entered October 25, 2006, Court of Common Pleas, Montgomery County, Civil Division at No. 06-03005
Before: BOWES, DONOHUE, and POPOVICH, JJ.
Opinion by: DONOHUE, J.
In a case of first impression, we address whether Appellant Lisa Dillon (“Dillon”) may assert a cause of action for money damages against a private employer for gender-based discrimination under the Equal Rights Amendment of the Pennsylvania Constitution. Pa. Const., art. I, § 28. We conclude that there is no private right of action for damages against a private employer under the Equal Rights Amendment and therefore affirm the trial court’s dismissal of Dillon’s case.
