Teacher wins 'bullying' tribunal

21 June 2011 Last updated at 14:23 GMT Fiona Michie Fiona Michie took her case to an employment tribunal in Aberdeen. A teacher who claimed she was forced to leave her job after being bullied and locked in a cupboard has won her case for constructive unfair dismissal.

Art teacher Fiona Michie had raised the claims about Aberdeen's independent Robert Gordon's College.

Mrs Michie claimed she was forced to resign in 2009 when no action was taken after she was bullied and locked in a storeroom by a colleague.

Mrs Michie told BBC Scotland she was delighted at the ruling.

The case is now expected to proceed to a remedy hearing.

A member of the board of governors had rejected claims of endemic bullying, during the tribunal case held at Aberdeen's Atholl House.

Linda Brown told the tribunal that both the head and depute rejected claims by Mrs Michie of bullying.
