The claimant had been given a reference which said that three complaints of sexual harrassment had been made against him which had been dealt with by cautions. He said that the acts complained of did not amount to sexual harassment.
Held: When giving a reference, the requirement was not to use a dictionary or legal definition of a term used, but rather to convey a proper sense of what had happened. That criteria was met and the claim failed.
