A New York federal judge has declined to dismiss an age discrimination suit filed by a Champion Home Builders executive who contends he was fired soon after his CEO was heard bemoaning how "old" his management team was getting. Judge David N. Hurd found there was "an issue of fact with respect to the context of the conversation and a credibility question, both of which are directly related to the presence of age-based animus and thus an inference of discrimination."
