The answer to Saturday's quiz is b) harassment. Well done to everyone who got it right. Here is our definition taken from our book "Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution: Vocabulary Series":
Harassment (noun): This means that one person or a group of people are acting in an unpleasant, threatening or disturbing way. To threaten means to force someone to do something that they do not want to do and if they do not do it then they will be punished. In civil litigation and dispute resolution, harassment usually happens in two main areas. The first area is at work and is covered by employment law, the second is sexual harassment which is also a criminal offence. An important thing to note in legal English is that in some countries the term “mobbing” is used to describe harassment. Please be careful if you wish to use this term as it is not common in legal English in this context. Associated Words: Dispute Resolution (noun).

Have a wonderful week everyone !
