Faragher v. Boca Raton,111 F.3d 1530 (11th Cir.), cert.granted, __U.S.__, 118 S.Ct. 438 (1997)

The U.S. Supreme Court must decide whether the Eleventh Circuit correctly ruled that the City of Boca Raton was not strictly liable for the sexual harassment of former lifeguard Beth Ann Faragher, based on the fact that plaintiff failed to notify city officials of alleged supervisor misconduct. Among the issues presented in the case is whether the existence of anti-harassment policies, including complaint procedures, make any difference in determining employer liability.
