Supreme Court of Iowa
Darrell Jeffrey McClure v. Ei Du Pont Nemours and Company d/b/a Corteva Agriscience
June 20, 2025
Summary
The court held that McClure failed to produce sufficient evidence that his heart-related work restriction substantially limited his ability to work or that Corteva regarded him as disabled. The court also held that McClure failed to create a jury question on age discrimination because Corteva honestly believed he was a safety risk, his proposed comparators were not similarly situated, and the alleged discriminatory-atmosphere evidence was insufficient. The court therefore affirmed the district court's summary judgment for Corteva while vacating the contrary portion of the court of appeals' decision.
