California Court of Appeal

In an employment discrimination case involving whether the court erred in not allowing the jury to hear evidence of other alleged harassment against non-parties and involving conduct that occurred outside the plaintiff's presence and before the plaintiff's employment, judgment of the trial court is reversed where the court incorrectly excluded such evidence as propensity or character evidence, Evidence Code section 1101(a), because the evidence was admissible as evidence of a discriminatory or biased intent or motive under Evidence Code section 1101 (b).
