Ryan Hancock Cases

SEPTA Background Check Discrimination

Willig, Williams & Davidson and co-counsel Outten & Gold, Public Interest Law Center, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law represent job applicants alleging that they were denied job opportunities in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Pennsylvania Criminal History Record Information Act.

Long v. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, No. 16 Civ. 1991 (PBT) (E.D. Pa.) – Pending

On September 10, 2018, the Third Circuit reversed the district court’s ruling that SEPTA’s alleged failure to provide Plaintiffs with copies of their background check reports did not cause them concrete harm—allowing the case to go forward in federal court. The Third Circuit explained that this requirement in the FCRA allows an applicant “to ensure that the report is true, and may also enable [the applicant] to advocate for it to be used fairly—such as by explaining why true but negative information is irrelevant to his fitness for the job.” This was “‘the very harm that Congress sought to prevent, arising from prototypical conduct’ proscribed by the FCRA.”

Long v. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, No. 17-1889 (3d Cir. Sept. 10, 2018) – Decided
