Exercise 8

Jenson was plaintiff in a class action suit against Eveleth Taconite Co. for sex discrimination and harassment. It was determined that the allegations were true and a special master was appointed to determine damages. He awarded only limited damages because he found the emotional damages that resulted from defendant's behavior should not be compensated because the "eggshell skull" rule applied only to preexisting physical conditions. Should the emotional harms be compensated? Explain.
