Workplace harassment and victimisation in Hungarian legal practice
Workplace harassment and victimisation in Hungarian legal practice

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with some current questions of equal treatment, especially with regard to workplace discrimination. Direct and indirect discrimination are the most common forms of discrimination but attention should be paid to harassment and victimisation as well because these also represent real dangers for employees related to infringement of equal treatment. I intend to analyse the practical emergence of these concepts in connection with employment in Hungarian legal practice. I will examine individual resolutions of the Equal Treatment Authority and judgments of the Curia of Hungary. I will refer to the relevant directives of the European Union and mention some of the most important judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning harassment and victimisation. I give some considerations in accordance with the importance and correct interpretation of the relevant definitions
