30,000 Pounds Damages for Taunts on Breast Size

Julie-Ann Reed, 27,who was subjected to taunts by her boss frequently because of her breast size was awarded 30,000 pounds in damages.

She told an employment tribunal in Exeter how Mr Probert said: 'You should either reduce the size of your breasts or get some new blouses.'

Julie also accused her boss of not paying her on time and when she complained he told her that her boyfriend should look after her and pay the bills.When she objected to his sexist comments he sacked her and told her: 'You little s***, get out.'

Miss Reed, from Kingskerswell, South Devon, had worked for the firm in the centre of Exeter for seven years and had been promoted to the £20,000-a-year position of valuer and director.

She is now working at a less well paid job selling advertising space for a magazine.
