A federal appeals court has ruled that an employer waived any objection to a jury verdict resulting from a woman’s argument that although she could not prove she was dyslexic, she was entitled to a workplace accommodation because she was “regarded as” such.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed a Delaware federal jury’s award of $22,500 in favor of plaintiff Tamra Robinson in her lawsuit against her employer, First State Community Action Agency.
