CA Paris (18th Ch., Sect. D), February 26, 2002., N ° 02-364.-Société Amidis et Cie. c / Miss Osmani. BICC 558
The absence of objective justification for the termination of the probationary period, the unjustified reproaches made to an employee and his new change of assignment, without explanation, while the labor tribunal was in progress, do not fall within the scope of the normal framework of the exercise of the power of organization and direction of the employer.
Such behavior constitutes moral harassment and must give rise to compensation for the benefit of the employee whose state of health has deteriorated.
