Ferguson v British Gas Trading Ltd

Issue

Whether F's claim should have been struck out at first instance on the grounds that:

(1) B’s course of conduct was insufficiently grave to amount to harassment; and/or

(2) the claim was bound to fail as a consequence of F's failure to identify in her pleadings either the individual ‘directing mind’ of the company who was aware of the course of conduct or the individual employee who was alleged to be responsible, for whose acts B was vicariously liable.
