Brand v. Regents of the University of California
Larry Brand appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court sustained the demurrer of defendants the Regents of the University of California (the Regents), Alan Paau, John Woods, Eduardo Macagno, Michael Melman and Daniel Wyman (collectively, defendants)[1]to Brand's lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged that defendants unlawfully retaliated against him for making disclosures protected by the California Whistleblower Protection Act (Gov. Code, 8547 et seq.).
We conclude that except with respect to the third cause of action against Melman (and the second cause of action, which is not at issue in this appeal), the trial court erred in sustaining the demurer. Accordingly, Court reverse the judgment in part.
