Common law protection
[ch 11: page 202]Under the common law, employers may be (and have been held) liable for psychiatric or psychological damage caused by bullying or harassment at work. The discussion above on psychiatric injury caused by work-related stress (see pages 199-200) applies equally here.
There is more detailed information available in the LRD’s annual employment law guide Law at Work (www.lrdpublications.org.uk/lawatwork).
