Review Granted in FEHA Case Redux.

The California Supreme Court has granted review in yet another FEHA case. This one will no doubt make considerable waves well beyond the employment realm. The issue is whether an employee who uses marijuana off-duty for medical purposes under the Compassionate Use Act, has a FEHA claim for disability discrimination, or a common law tort claim for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. Ross v. Ragingwire Telecommunications, Inc. formerly published at 132 Cal.App.4th 590, No. S138130, review granted 11/30/05.
