In mid-September, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois ruled that a former employee’s federal discrimination and retaliation claims against his old employer should be dismissed as a sanction for the employee’s spoliation of evidence where the court found that the employee willfully deleted potential evidence from his work-issued laptop.
