Employer failed to provide a duty of care

In a 2005 New South Wales case, the appeal judges agreed with the trial
judge that the Plaintiff’s supervisor had failed in his duty of care to her in
relation to her asking him for assistance in relation to her team’s
insubordination. The Plaintiff had won her position as team leader over her
former manager. She was awarded nearly $340,000 in compensation.
The State’s appeal was dismissed.
