Does the doctrine of conspiracy apply when there is only one act, the termination of employment, in issue?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Reaves v. Cnty. of L. A., B255920 (Cal. App. 2015):
8. The defendants in Rackin argued that a conspiracy could not exist when there was only one act, a termination of employment, in issue. The court noted that the plaintiff had alleged many instances of discrimination by the alleged conspirators, and therefore, the doctrine did not apply. (Rackin v. University of Pennsylvania, supra, 386 F.Supp. at pp. 1005-1006.)
