4553 REVIEW GRANTED The professional relationship between the mother of a minor child and the trustee of a trust established for the child’s benefit by the child’s deceased father is such that the prohibition against sexual harassment set forth in Civil Code section 51.9 applies to it; isolated incidents in which the trustee solicited sexual favors from the mother without a quid pro quo, and later that same day made suggestive and profane comments to her, were not sufficiently severe and pervasive to give rise to a cause of action; the trustee’s comments were not sufficiently outrageous and the plaintiff’s suffering was not sufficiently severe to give rise to an action for intentional infliction of emotional distress.CitationHUGHES v PAIR (Isolated Incidents) 154 CA4 1469 [See: CivC 51.9; GovC 12900 etseq; Weeks v Baker 63 CA4 1128, T/AT 6/98; Herberg v CA Institute 101 CA4 142, T/AT 9/02]
