Telling a female colleague they look ‘nice’ could be sexual harassment

Violated Woman

Telling a colleague they look “nice” could count as sexual harassment, a tribunal has ruled.

Marcus Hall, a senior lawyer, made such a comment to Megan Bratt, a legal secretary, at work, before asking her “Am I allowed to say that?”, a hearing was told.

The remark by the family law expert was found by the employment tribunal to be a sexual one which created an “intimidating” environment for Ms Bratt who described feeling “violated”.
