3102A. Employer Liability for Enhanced Remedies—Both

Individual and Employer Defendants (Welf. & Inst. Code,

§§ 15657, 15657.05; Civ. Code, § 3294(b))

[Name of plaintiff] also claims that [name of employer defendant] is

responsible for [attorney fees and costs/ [and] [name of decedent]’s

pain and suffering before death]. To establish this claim, [name of

plaintiff] must prove by clear and convincing evidence [insert one

or more of the following four options:]

1. [That [name of individual defendant] was an officer, a

director, or a managing agent of [name of employer

defendant] acting on behalf of [name of defendant];] [or]

2. [That an officer, a director, or a managing agent of [name

of employer defendant] had advance knowledge of the

unfitness of [name of individual defendant] and employed

[him/her] with a knowing disregard of the rights or safety

of others;] [or]

3. [That an officer, a director, or a managing agent of [name

of employer defendant] authorized [name of individual

defendant]’s conduct;] [or]

4. [That an officer, a director, or a managing agent of [name

of employer defendant] knew of [name of individual

defendant]’s wrongful conduct and adopted or approved the

conduct after it occurred.]

An employee is a "managing agent" if he or she exercises

substantial independent authority and judgment in his or her

corporate decision-making such that his or her decisions ultimately

determine corporate policy.

[If [name of plaintiff] proves the above, I will decide the amount of

attorney fees and costs.]
