1Opinion of the CourtPeters, J.
This is an appeal by the commission on human rights and opportunities from a judgment of the Court of Common Pleas which set aside a hearing examiner’s decision that the plaintiff had unlawfully discriminated against the complainant, a black person, by refusing to award him back pay and benefits upon reinstating him after an involuntary termination.
