Citation: Cross v Highlands and Islands Enterprise, 2001 SLT 1060
Rule of thumb: How do you make a personal injury claim against an employer for depression or a mental breakdown caused by work? You have to prove that (a) they gave you a work demand which was far too high, and (b) clear red flag signs were missed.
Judgment:
‘Occupational stress is usually seen as a result of a mismatch between the demands of the job and the resources of the person expected to meet those demands’, Lord MacFadyen
