IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION THREE No. A116737 MARGARET DUFRESNE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. CITY OF HAYWARD, Defendant and Appellant. Ct. No. 2002-067063) Defendant City of Hayward (the city) appeals from a judgment entered in favor of plaintiff Margaret Dufresne, a former building inspector for the city, on her complaint for sexual harassment. The city also argues that the court erred in admitting evidence that the city accepted liability in workers' compensation proceedings arising out of the same alleged harassment. Hulse continued to assign her more work than the other inspectors until she stopped working for the city in 2001. Had the city wished to settle plaintiff's workers' compensation claim and at the same time avoid making such an admission, the city could have drafted such an agreement.
