A-5728-06T1

Plaintiff sued her former employer, alleging gender
discrimination and retaliatory discharge. The trial court erred
when it instructed the jury that plaintiff's attorney's use at
deposition of confidential documents plaintiff had copied from
her employer's files was protected activity. Further, the
record did not support presenting the issue of punitive damages
to the jury.
