Hinkle, J.

Plaintiff A. Francis Tamasy sued his former employer, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, for age discrimination in violation of G.L.c. 151B. A jury returned a verdict in plaintiffs favor, awarding him $200,000 in damages for back pay and $200,000 for emotional distress. The jury also found that the defendant acted wilfully and that the damages should thus be doubled.
