THOMPSON V. THE HASKELL CO
65 F. Empl. Prac. Cas. (BNA) 1088 (M.D.Fl. 1994)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This case involved a protective order from discovery for psychologist
records.
FACTS: Thompson (P) sued Haskell (D) and her supervisor for sexual harassment. Dr. Lucas
was retained by prior counsel to conduct a diagnostic review and personality profile on P. P
alleged that because of sexual harassment by a supervisor employed by D, P was reduced to a
severely depressed emotional state. P was terminated by D on June 5, 1992. P was then
examined by Dr. Lucas on June 15, 1992. A report was prepared. D sought discovery of the
report. D contends that the examination by Dr. Lucas is highly probative with regard to the
allegations of the suit and that allegation is essential to P's case. P filed a motion for a
protective order from discovery. P contends that Ruled 26(b)(3) and (4) protect a
psychological report from discovery.
