I think this is actually bad for older job seekers no matter what the outcome is, just because of awareness. The next time a skilled but borderline elder candidate applies to a younger company, the company will probably have a higher chance to pass on the candidate.

Especially if the candidate's name is Brian Reid. He must not be planning on ever working again.

If he wins the suit he won't have to.

Cribbing from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Reid_(computer_scientist)), he's five years away from the traditional US retirement age of 65, and he was a director level executive at DEC. I imagine he played the money game long enough at DEC that he's in fine shape, even without his teaching income.
