Djessouho v. IHMS (Boston), dba Taj Boston

Sebastien Djessouho asks the Supreme Court to review a Massachusetts employment-discrimination case against Taj Boston. He challenges his waiver of a jury trial, the trial court's credibility findings, and the conclusion that he did not prove discrimination or retaliation.

The petition is pending, and oral argument has not been scheduled. Djessouho argues that his jury-trial waiver was conditional and that errors affected the evidence and discrimination claims.

The case could affect workers who represent themselves and use interpreters when deciding whether to waive a jury trial. For example, it raises whether a worker's agreement to a bench trial should stand when a key witness does not appear.

Watch for a scheduling order, including whether the Court will hear the case. No decision window is available yet.

The petition challenges whether Djessouho validly gave up a jury trial and whether the courts properly rejected his discrimination and retaliation claims.

Workers alleging workplace discrimination, especially people representing themselves or relying on interpreters, could be affected by the Court's approach to jury-trial waivers.

No argument date or decision window has been set. The next development would be a scheduling order or another action on the petition.
