Referee's Harassment Claims Dismissed, Contract Breach Acknowledged

Lisa Benn, a female football referee, lost her claims of victimization and harassment based on her sex. She alleged a male refereeing coach, Steve Child, manhandled her, but the employment tribunal found PGMOL acted reasonably in dismissing her. The tribunal rejected her unfair dismissal claim but accepted a breach of contract claim. Benn claimed Child grabbed her arm and pushed her onto the pitch, but the tribunal found his actions were due to frustration, not her sex. DNN | The Daily News Now!
