Opinion
ROTH, P. J.
Defendant Hollywood Park Operating Company appeals from an $898,101 judgment entered in favor of plaintiff Thomas Laury Fidler after a jury trial in a constructive wrongful discharge action. We will reverse the judgment and remand the cause for a new trial because after trial court proceedings were concluded but during the pendency of this appeal, the California Supreme Court issued its decision in Foley v. Interactive Data Corp. (1988) 47 Cal.3d 654 [254 Cal.Rptr. 211, 765 P.2d 373] which makes clear the matter was tried, in large part, on erroneous legal principles.
