TOYOTA of KY v Ella WILLIAMS
524 US 184, 122 S.Ct. 681 (2002)
(
1) for ADA claim, you must have an impairment that prevents or severely restricts you from doing activities that are of central importance to most people's daily lives;(2) evidence of a medical diagnosis of an impairment is not enough
(3) it is not required that a class of manual activities be implicated for an impairment to substantially limit the major life activity of performing manual
tasks; (This really applies to wording of 6th Circuit
(4) Court of Appeals focused only on her inability to perform manual tasks associated only with her job;
(5) employee's inability to do repetitive work was not sufficient proof that she was substantially limited in major life activity of performing manual tasks; and
(6) medical conditions that caused employee to restrict certain activities did not constitute manual-task disability under ADA.
Discussion of what is substantial, reasonable, etc.
