Yes, courts have determined that hiring someone younger to place anyone 40 years or older MAY be age discrimination. It is irrelevant that the person who is also over 40. Of course, you have to go through a legal analysis regarding discrimination issues. However, if you are concerned that it is not age discrimination because Katrina is over 42, it does not matter.
