California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's suit against her former employer under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), trial court's grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment on the hostile work environment harassment claim, grant of defendant's motion for nonsuit on the retaliation claim, and a postjudgment order awarding $128,925.12 in expert witness fees to defendant as costs are affirmed for the most part except, although the judgment and the postjudgment order awarding expert witness fees as costs are affirmed, that portion of the judgment setting the amount of expert fees to be recovered by defendant as costs is vacated and remanded for the limited purpose of allowing the court to consider whether "scaling" of the amount of the expert fee award is appropriate considering the relative resources of the parties.
