Abstract

In Kimber v. Thiokol Corp., 196 F.3d 1092, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld a U.S. District Court's grant of summary judgment against an employee's claim that an employeroperated disability insurance plan, which offered different levels of compensation for disabilities due to mental and physical conditions, violated Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Court of Appeals found that the Thiokol plan administrator's interpretations of the plan were not arbitrary and capricious, and that the plan's different treatment of disabilities caused by physical and mental conditions did not violate the ADA.
