Supreme Court rules against EEOC 9-0.

Mach Mining LLC v. EEOC

On April 29, 2015, the Supreme Court unanimously held that courts may review whether the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has fulfilled its statutory duty to conciliate discrimination allegations. However, the power to review is narrow. A court may act as a factfinder only when presented with concrete evidence that the EEOC: (1) did not provide sufficient information about a charge, or (2) did not attempt to engage in a discussion about conciliating the claim.

The EEOC had argued their decision was not subject to judicial review.
