Text 1 A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded ￡67, 000 for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their em- ployer to accept the legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is like-ly to start a flood of other workers' claims, Mrs. Lancaster's union already has 7, 000 stress-relat-ed cases on its books. The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighbourhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety , Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Coldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another, " she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door .I would break down in tears. I was being buried in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank. " In awarding compensation of ￡ 67, 491, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster's previous job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancaster would be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be in a lesser capacity. After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me: I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted. "The pay- out, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings. A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to re-view its staff and management procedures.
