The same-actor defense can be used in cases where there is discrimination based on gender, ethnicity or race. This defense can be also applicable in case of age discrimination if firing took place only after a brief period of time. Another important condition in this case is that same person should be involved in hiring and firing process.

in this image, 1 is the surface of rapture (scarp), 2 the slump block, 3 main scarp (crown), 4 base of rapture with debris flow.

slumps are caused by clear cutting on unstable soils and the sagging of earth, in coastal areas they are due to wave infiltration.
