California Court of Appeal

In a suit under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) brought by a physician against a medical group of which she was a partner, alleging unlawful retaliation for opposing sexual harassment of an employee, the trial court's judgment in favor of the defendant is reversed, where: 1) the harassment of the defendant's employees, if proven, was an unlawful practice for which the defendant would be liable; 2) FEHA made it an unlawful practice for the defendant to retaliate against any "person" for opposing that harassment; and 3) "person" includes a partner.
