Stress at work claims in the Civil Courts

At a time when wellbeing and mental health are high on the agenda for employers and employees, there has been a rapid increase in the number of stress-related claims in the civil courts. In this seminar, Felix Levay, Steve Gittins, and Kyran Kanda will discuss how stress at work claims are won or lost, explore the test of reasonable foreseeability, and discuss the difference between negligence claims in the civil courts and Equality Act claims in the Employment Tribunal. They will also explore the new challenges posed by remote working and good working practices for employers to support their workforce.
