California Court of Appeal

The trial court erroneously modified the standard jury instruction on the definition of "supervisor" for purposes of the Fair Employment and Housing Act. Because there is little doubt that this error led the jury to find that plaintiff's alleged harasser was not a supervisor, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
