Description
The issue presented in this petition for writ of mandate is whether a violation of statutory protections against discriminatory violence and intimidation and against denial of civil rights by means of threats and intimidation (Civ. Code, §Â§ 51.7, 52.1) may be asserted as a separate cause of action in an action alleging wrongful termination and employment discrimination. The trial court ruled these sections were part of the Unruh Civil Rights Act (the Unruh Act) and, thus, were inapplicable in the employment context. We conclude there is no bar to asserting violations of sections 51.7 and 52.1 in employment cases. Accordingly, we reverse the trial courts order sustaining real parties in interests demurrer and granting their motion to strike.
