2,449 charsing that courts have liberally interpreted Title VII’s
standing provisions to effectuate remedial purpose of
law); Section-By-Section Analysis of H.R. 1746, The
Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, 118 Cong.
Rec. 7166, 7168 (1972) (‘‘the individual’s rights to redress
are paramount under the provisions of Title VII’’).
The branch’s third argument is that litigation of a Title
VII claim in a court affords the defendant/respondent
various procedural protections—the rights to a jury
trial, to remove an action from state court to federal
court, to full civil discovery and formal rules of evi-
dence—that are not available in an administrative adju-
dication. The branch contends that allowing a state fair
employment practices agency such as the commission
to find and penalize Title VII violations under state law
would upset a carefully calibrated federal scheme that
balances the availability of remedies with important pro-
cedural protections.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit has rejected this very argument, finding no viola-
tion of federal law despite the contention that allowing
a complainant to bring a Title VII claim before the
commission, pursuant to § 46a-58 (a), would circumvent
federal procedural protections. See Shelton v. Hughes,
578 Fed. Appx. 53, 55 (2d Cir. 2014). The branch’s claim
also runs headlong into the United States Supreme
Court decisions holding that a state agency’s adjudica-
tion of an employment discrimination claim, which has
been reviewed and affirmed by the state’s appellate
courts, affords sufficient procedural protections to have
preclusive effect with respect to a subsequent action
in federal court addressing the same alleged conduct.
See, e.g., Kremer v. Chemical Construction Corp., supra,
456 U.S. 484 (concluding that ‘‘[the] panoply of proce-
dures [provided by the New York State Division of
Human Rights hearing], complemented by administra-
tive as well as judicial review,’’ was more than sufficient
