Woman wins nearly £75k after not being invited to staff night out

A woman who wasn't invited on a staff night out was given nearly £75,000 following a tribunal hearing over the matter.

Rita Leher said she was "shunned" by her colleagues from one of Britain's biggest casinos when she was the only person who was excluded from an evening gathering to Las Iguanas. The hearing was told that other staff members even "insensitively" organised the event in front of her.

Following the hearing, the 51-year-old has been awarded £74,113. The tribunal judge ruled that Ms Leher's colleagues' actions to deliberately not inviting her out amounted to victimisation, HullLive reports.
