ABSTRACT
As the chapters in this volume have demonstrated, we are witnessing the steady emergence of a global understanding that workplace bullying poses a serious threat to workers and employers alike. The work being done to comprehend and address workplace bullying is cross-disciplinary in nature, and one of the areas of focus is the law. More specifically, researchers and advocates are considering ways in which the law can be used to prevent and punish serious bullying behaviour. This chapter will identify some of the central themes concerning bullying and the law.
