Joaquin v City of Los Angeles 202 Cal.App.4th 1207 (2012) (2/4) LAPD officer Joaquin claimed his sergeant sexually harassed him. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer LAPD denied claim and brought false complaint charge against Joaquin, stopped his promotion, and following hearing, fired him. Joaquin sued for harassment and FEHA retaliation. Verdict $2M, reversed. [1] No substantial evidence to support “retaliatory intent” element of retaliation claim. City cannot retaliate but may terminate Joaquin for conduct warranting it and existing apart from harassment investigation. Since evidence supporting retaliation not presented to independent review board that found termination, no substantial evidence supports intent element. [2] CACI 2505 on retaliation disapproved, in theat it omits retaliatory intent element. San Diego personal injury attorney
