Anonymised Claimant v Anonymised Respondent 4865/17
“The unanimous judgment of the tribunal is that the respondent unlawfully harassed the claimant on grounds of sex and unlawfully discriminated against the claimant on grounds of sex. The claimant was awarded compensation and interest; comprising £41,500.00 in respect of injury to feelings, £20,000.00 in respect of psychiatric injury and £6,000.00 in respect of aggravated damages, together with interest of £4,360.00. The total award is £71,860.00.”
The Claimant alleged, amongst other things, that the Respondent had said to her the following:
““Can I ask you a question, what’s going on with your top part?”
“Are they developing or what?”
“Maybe you should do exercises to make them bigger.”
“Sure get (“XY”) to help you.”
“Have you thought about going on the pill?”
“You can just get oil or something and rub them every night.”
“At which age did you start letting boys do stuff to you?”
“Slut isn’t she?
“Do you shave often?”
“Do you send like naked pictures of yourself to guys?”
“Your bum is my bum.”
“Your body is perfect”
“When was the last time she shaved?”
The Tribunal found that the Respondent was confusing and that his evidence lacked credibility. He repeatedly downplayed the seriousness of the offences with which he had been convicted and downplayed the seriousness of the ROSH Order which he himself had accepted.
