Featured Employment Case

The Superior Court dismissed a complaint seeking damages for alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress and for alleged violation of statutes referring to right to equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, or services in business establishments. The Supreme Court issue an opinion which provided as follows: “This state has long recognized the right to recover damages for the intentional and unreasonable infliction of mental or emotional distress which results in foreseeable physical injury to plaintiff. (State Rubbish, etc., Assn. v. Siliznoff, Supra, 38 Cal.2d 330, 336—337, 240 P.2d 282; Vargas v. Ruggiero, 197 Cal.App.2d 709, 717—718, 17 Cal.Rptr. 568; Richardson v. Pridmore, 97 Cal.App.2d 124, 130, 217 P.2d 113; Bowden v. Spiegel, Inc., 96 Cal.App.2d 793, 794—795, 216 P.2d 571; Emden v. Vitz, 88 Cal.App.2d 313, 316—319, 198 P.2d 696; see Rest.2d Torts, s 312.) Plaintiff’s allegations that defendants intentionally inflicted emotional *498 distress for the purpose of causing plaintiff to suffer emotional and physical harm, and that plaintiff did suffer physical illness, shock, nausea and insomnia as a result thereof, meet the requirements of the foregoing authorities. The physical consequences of shock or other disturbance to the nervous system are sufficient to satisfy the requirement that plaintiff has suffered physical injury from defendants’ conduct. (Emden v. Vitz, Supra, 88 Cal.App.2d 313, 316—317, 198 P.2d 696; see Vanoni v. Western Airlines, Supra, 247 Cal.App.2d 793, 796—797, 56 Cal.Rptr. 115.) Moreover, the courts of this state have also acknowledged the right to recover damages for emotional distress alone, without consequent physical injuries, in cases involving extreme and outrageous intentional invasions of one’s mental and emotional tranquility. (State Rubbish, etc., Assn. v. Siliznoff, Supra, 38 Cal.2d 330, 337—338, 240 P.2d 282; Cornblith v. First Maintenance Supply Co., 268 Cal.App.2d 564, 74 Cal.Rptr. 216; Agostini v. Strycula, 231 Cal.App.2d 804, 808, 42 Cal.Rptr. 314; Perati v. Atkinson, 213 Cal.App.2d 472, 474, 28 Cal.Rptr. 898; see Rest.2d Torts, s 46.) Plaintiff has alleged facts and circumstances which reasonably could lead the trier of fact to conclude that defendants’ conduct was extreme and outrageous, having a severe and traumatic effect upon plaintiff’s emotional tranquility. Thus, according to plaintiff, defendants, standing in a position or relation of authority over plaintiff,² aware of his particular susceptibility to emotional distress, and for the ***91 **219 purpose of causing plaintiff to suffer such distress, intentionally humiliated plaintiff, insulted his race, ignored his union status, and terminated his employment, all *499 without just cause or provocation. Although it may be that mere insulting language, without more, ordinarily would not constitute extreme outrage, the aggravated circumstances alleged by plaintiff seem sufficient to uphold his complaint as against defendants’ general demurrer. ‘Where reasonable men may differ, it is for the jury, subject to the control of the court, to determine whether, in the particular case, the conduct has been sufficiently extreme and outrageous to result in liability.’ (Rest.2d Torts, s 46, com; accord, Halio v. Lurie (1961) 15 A.D.2d 62, 222 N.Y.S.2d 759, 764; Wallace v. Shoreham Hotel Corporation (D.C.Mun.App.1946) 49 A.2d 81, 83.) The multitude of cases upholding on various theories complaints alleging similar circumstances strongly indicates at least that plaintiff has pleaded a situation in which reasonable men may differ regarding defendants’ liability. That being so, the order of dismissal should be reversed as to plaintiff’s first cause of action.
