The judgment came in the case of a high-end whisky investment company which has been ordered to pay more than £50,000 in compensation to a female staff member who complained about the language used by her colleagues.
Nina Chung claimed at an employment tribunal that her co-workers at Whisky 1901, opposite Harrods in Knightsbridge, London, called women “birds” and boasted about their “sexual conquests”.
She was also asked if she was planning on getting pregnant by a colleague, who, in another incident, locked her out of the company’s office, the tribunal heard.
Employment Judge Pavel Klimov ruled that her complaints amounted to sex harassment.
