Agency Non Compliance Consequences

Summary

In a federal EEOC case, if the agency fails to follow a court order for settlement discussions, you can file a motion for contempt, inform the judge during the hearing, and present evidence of non-compliance. The judge may hold the agency in contempt, order compliance, or impose sanctions. Non-compliance could potentially benefit your case, as the judge may view it unfavorably and rule in your favor. Consult a legal professional for personalized advice.
