'Slapstick' | Employee's laughter at colleague who fell over was not harassment, says judge

A pub worker tried to sue their former employer after a colleague laughed at them when they fell over at work.

Kesarajith Perera took former employer Stonegate Pub Company to an employment tribunal with allegations of racial and religious harassment. And to back up his claims, he gave evidence of an incident where he slipped on a pool of oil while working at The George in Harrow in 2020, causing him to fall down and resulting in chuckles from team leader Thameera Bandara.
