ABSTRACT

Knowing where you stand legally is an important consideration for individuals

targeted by bullying and organisations faced with the challenge of providing

a safe workplace. While it is not our aim to extensively review the law relating

to workplace bullying, we refer readers to the sources we have cited for more

detail. We will present some major issues in relation to workplace bullying

law, describe recent international moves towards law reform, and address the

constraints on this process. The existing, relevant law in various countries will

be outlined.
