NYLJ quotes Debra S. Katz regarding the growing use of preemptive law suits by defendants. According to Ms. Katz, "pre-emptive suits never make sense" because they were "clearly retaliatory acts" in the context of harassment and discrimination claims. According to Katz, "They subject the employer to more liability for retaliation" and "such 'thuggish' tactics, aimed at getting someone to back off a claim, usually have the opposite effect, inspiring claimants to fight harder."
