California Court of Appeal

In a Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) suit against a City brought by a nurse who claimed she was sexually harassed by a police officer while she was providing phlebotomist services on behalf of the police department, the court's denial of the City's JNOV motion, contending plaintiff had no standing to recover damages on her FEHA claim against the City, is affirmed where the evidence supports that plaintiff was a "person providing services pursuant to a contract" and therefore she was entitled to recover against the City for its employee's sexual harassment.
