Third Party Harrassment Law Repealed

11/09/2013 Under the Equality Act 2010 an employer can be vicariously liable for harassment by a third party (such as a customer or a contractor) if (a) that third party had harassed an employee on at least two previous occasions; and (b) the employer had failed to take reasonably practicable steps to stop the harassment.

With effect from 1st October, this is now being repealed.
