Courts have long accepted that employers may incur common law liability for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bullying\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of their staff in the context of established principles of the law of negligence. Exactly what is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bullying\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, however, is a question that has vexed many a practitioner, especially in common law matters where there is no rigid definition. The recent New South Wales District Court decision in <em>Lal v Australian Administrative Services Pty Ltd<\/em> sheds light on that question and has removed a considerable degree of uncertainty in advising parties in negligence claims arising out of allegations of bullying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2010\/08\/Thomson-Reuters-Standard-Order-Form-V2.2-08-15.doc\">Individual Article Sale<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0order form and email it to\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/wlau\/app\/document?docguid=I7d9dd8cf94bb11e584c5a2b5af565fd9&amp;tocDs=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC&amp;isTocNav=true&amp;startChunk=1&amp;endChunk=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INTERVIEW<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Doing it his way: Martin Ferguson steps out of Labor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shadow <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c by Steven Andrew<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/wlau\/app\/document?docguid=I7d9dd8cd94bb11e584c5a2b5af565fd9&amp;tocDs=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC&amp;isTocNav=true&amp;startChunk=1&amp;endChunk=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COMMON LAW AND GENERAL PROTECTIONS<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identifying the prohibited reason for adverse action, rears its problematic head again <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Mark Caile <\/em>and <em>Dr Victoria Lambropoulos<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/wlau\/app\/document?docguid=I7d9dd8cb94bb11e584c5a2b5af565fd9&amp;tocDs=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC&amp;isTocNav=true&amp;startChunk=1&amp;endChunk=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BOOK REVIEW<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hogs &amp;
