California Court of Appeal

Claims under the Civil Code for violation of statutory protections against discriminatory violence and intimidation, and against denial of civil rights by means of threats and intimidation are not part of the Unruh Act. Thus, they may be asserted as a separate cause of action in an action alleging wrongful termination and employment discrimination.
