Bullied City man’s award cut

The £900,000 damages awarded to a former employee of Cantor Fitzgerald International who claimed he was bullied has been cut by around £117,000 by the Appeal Court. The former employee claimed he had been bullied before being sacked. The City firm appealed the award on the grounds that not enough weight had been attached to the firm’s criticisms of the employee, notably that he left the office without informing anyone, and was often absent without explanation.
