1Opinion of the Court

ROBERTSON, Judge.

Section 213.070(2), RSMo 1994, defines “an unlawful discriminatory practice” to include retaliation against “any other person ... because such person” has filed a complaint under the Missouri Human Rights Act. The issue in this case is whether a former employee is a “person” under section 213.070(2).

The trial court found that a former employee is not a person within the meaning of the statute. The Court of Appeals, Eastern District, affirmed. We have jurisdiction. Mo. Const, art. V, § 10. We reverse.
