Rochelle Rong and Tom Panton consider the legal principles governing claims for workplace stress, revisiting the seminal case of Hatton v Sutherland from 2002 and discussing developments in the law since that time, and discuss the extent to which these cases overlap with claims in respect of workplace bullying and harassment.

Agenda

  • Foreseeability of psychiatric injury in the age of the risk assessment
  • Breach of duty: the particular problem of disciplinary processes
  • Bullying and harassment claims: do they overlap with stress?
  • Medical causation: potential pitfalls
