California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Jennings v. Marralle, 32 Cal.Rptr.2d 275, 8 Cal.4th 121, 876 P.2d 1074 (Cal. 1994):
Jennings then sought leave to amend the complaint to state a common law cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy as recognized in Rojo v. Kliger (1990) 52 Cal.3d 65, 276 Cal.Rptr. 130, 801 P.2d 373. The proposed complaint alleged that the termination of plaintiff's employment violated public policy prohibiting discrimination in employment on the basis of age. The superior court denied the motion for leave to amend.
