United States Seventh Circuit

Summary judgment for defendant in a race and sex discrimination case under 42 U.S.C. section 1981 involving services contracts is reversed where the district court never addressed the issue of whether plaintiff had evidence to back up its claim that race and sex discrimination account for defendant-s decision to deal with a different subcontractor.
