2,560 charsbranch, however, that certain evidence of treatment
related emotional distress was improperly admitted.
Although it is a close call, we are unable to conclude
on this record that the evidentiary error was harmless.
We therefore remand the case to the trial court with
direction to remand to the commission for a new hear-
ing in damages.
A
The record reveals the following relevant procedural
facts. During the administrative proceedings, the branch
issued discovery requests to both the complainant and
the commission. The branch included the following
request: ‘‘Please produce all medical records, counsel-
ing records, office notes, or other documents, if any,
identifying any and all medical professionals who[m]
the complainant consulted with or was treated by for
emotional damages and/or physical damages that the
complainant contends are related to [her] claims of
discrimination.’’ No such records were produced in
response to this request. The complainant’s initial wit-
ness lists, however, included two proposed witnesses—
Dawn Gurn, a therapist, and Michael E. Coyle, a psy-
chologist—whom the complainant identified as individ-
uals who provided mental health treatment to her. She
indicated that she intended to call both of these wit-
nesses in support of her claim for emotional distress
damages. The branch objected to the proposed testi-
mony because the complainant had failed to supply
any medical or mental health records relating to either
witness, despite its request.
The referee ruled on the branch’s objections off the
record, during a prehearing conference on September
to use it, to describe emotional distress that (1) is testified to only by the
complainant and other lay witnesses, (2) involves the sorts of everyday
emotional and physical reactions to trauma that a jury reasonably could be
expected to assess without the assistance of expert testimony, and (3) does
not involve a claim by the complainant that the emotional distress required
professional medical/psychological diagnosis, treatment, or medication.
