Description
The trial court granted summary judgment and/or summary adjudication of issues as to John Hart's four causes of action against his employer, National Mortgage & Land Company (National). Hart appeals, contending the trial court erred in concluding his first cause of action, for sexual harassment, was not cognizable under Government Code section 12940. We disagree, and therefore affirm that portion of the trial court's ruling. Hart also contends the court below erroneously concluded National is not potentially liable to him for negligence or punitive damages. We agree with Hart and reverse that portion of the judgment. Although not addressed by the trial court, we decide here an issue contested by both parties -- whether workers' compensation provides the exclusive remedy for Hart's causes of action for assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
