Merelle v Newcastle Primary Care Trust: QBD 11 Nov 2004

The claimant claimed harassment. The judge dismissed his claim as being utterly implausible. He appealed.
Held: The limits of the new tort of harassment were not clearly set. In such circumstances it would be wrong to dismiss a case depriving the claimant of a hearing even though, as the judge decided the claim was inherently implausible.
