Roadway Express, Inc. v. Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights
119 R.I. 948; 386 A.2d 200
Roadway Express, Inc. v. Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights
Opinion of the Court
The petition for certiorari is granted.
The parties are directed to brief and argue the following issue: Assuming the provision of G.L. 1956 (1968 Reenactment) §28-5-18 which provides for the issuance of a complaint within one year after the committing of an alleged unfair employment practice is directory, should the commission’s complaint be dismissed because the 2-year-5-month period intervening between the commission of the act and the issuance of the complaint might be considered as an unreasonable period of delay?
