Merritt v. Equinox Fitness Woodland Hills, Inc. CA
David Merritt sued his former employer, Equinox Fitness Woodland Hills and Equinox Fitness, Inc. (collectively, Equinox), for disability discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Government Code section 12900, et seq. The trial court granted Equinox’s motion for summary adjudication on the FEHA-based claims, concluding the undisputed facts established that Merritt did not suffer from a “disability” as defined by FEHA, and that Equinox terminated his employment for a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason. The court also granted Equinox summary adjudication on Merritt’s request for punitive damages. We affirm the court’s ruling on the punitive damages claim, and reverse the judgment in all other respects.
