Definitions

Merits suits - include direct suits and interventions alleging violations of the substantive provisions of the statutes enforced by the Commission and suits to enforce administrative settlements.

Intervention - is where the EEOC joins a lawsuit that has been filed by a private plaintiff.

Subpoena enforcement actions - may be filed during the course of the investigation of a charge of discrimination where the Respondent refuses to provide information relevant to the charge.

Suits to enforce administrative settlements - involve breaches by the Respondents on agreements with EEOC to settle charges during the administrative process.
