California Court of Appeal
ATASCADERO UNIFIED SCH. DIST. v. WORKERS' COMP. APPEALS BD., B155026
An injury caused by workplace gossip about an employee's personal life does not, as a matter of law, arise out of employment; a workers' compensation claim for a compensable psychiatric injury attributable solely to an employee's personal life must fail.
