Clackamas Gastroenterology Associates, P. C. v. Wells

Summary

The Supreme Court held that to determine whether shareholder-directors of a professional corporation are 'employees' under the ADA, courts should apply a common-law test focusing on the extent of the organization's control over the individual. The Court reversed the Ninth Circuit's judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with this standard. Justice Ginsburg, dissenting, would have affirmed the Court of Appeals.
