Mobbing-Legal and Medical Aspects in the Transitional Society (Case Croatia)

By definition, mobbing denounces such work place behaviour in which a person or a group of persons systematically throughout a longer period psychologically harass the other individual by means of jeopardizing integrity, dignity, honour and reputation. Croatian labour law is characterized by insufficiency of legal definiton and via facti inadequate legal protection of victims involved in the mobbing process. Since 2004 the legal system contains framework for protection from work place harassment and discrimination but without possibility of equalizing the various known mobbing behaviours with those legal definitions. The aim of this paper is to find the answers to the victims’ adequate protection at the time of nomotechnical and substantial under-capacity of legal provisions, to explain the causes of increasing court cases in this area, as well as to determine the possible case manipulations. Improving the existing or creating the new legal framework identifies the numerous unanswered questions from the medical and legal perspective.
