Description
Ford Aerospace and Communications Corporation (Ford) appeals from a judgment for wrongful termination in favor of Carl D. Roberts, respondent. The jury awarded economic and noneconomic damages of $295,224.09 and punitive damages of $750,000. Ford contends that reversal is mandated because: 1) there can be no tort recovery for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; 2) the Supreme Courts grant of review of a recent appellate decision may indicate that the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code, § 12940 et seq.) occupies the field of employment discrimination; 3) compensatory and punitive damages against Ford can be no greater than those assessed against Fords employee defendants; and 4) the punitive damages assessed here are unconstitutional.
