BB argued that this was a form of threat and intimidation, and that it was intended to mislead BB to consider that the matter had been reported to the police as a crime. F complained of unfair dismissal. Further, F claimed that unwanted language directed towards him amounted to age and sex discrimination. The ET upheld the complaints. BB appealed to the EAT.

Decision      1. The appeal was dismissed.

2. The decisions of the ET had not shown any error of law or perversity.
