Description
Defendants County of Orange (County) and Chris Norby appeal from the trial courts denial of their motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) following a jury determination that the County terminated Pamela Mokler in violation of Californias whistleblower statute, Labor Code section 1102.5, and that Norby sexually harassed Mokler, creating a hostile work environment under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Government Code section 12900 et seq. Defendants contend the trial court erred because Moklers failure to exhaust her administrative remedies barred her from pursuing her retaliatory discharge claim. Defendants also challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support her claims for retaliation and sexual harassment. Mokler appeals the trial courts order granting the County a new trial on damages, conditioned on Mokler refusing a damage award remitted from approximately $1.6 million to $125,000. Mokler challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the trial courts statement of reasons for overturning the jurys damages verdict.
