June 19, 197434 N.Y.2d 416

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the National Organization for Women has standing to sue, that the case is not moot despite a policy change, and that Gannett’s separate male and female classified advertising columns constitute aiding and abetting unlawful sex discrimination under Executive Law §296, reversing the lower courts and remanding for further proceedings.
