Kozarov v State of Victoria

In this episode we consider the recent High Court of Australia case of Kozarov v State of Victoria [2022] HCA 12, which considered the circumstances in which employers will owe a duty to take reasonable care against the risk of psychological injury to its employees in employment, in the context of this case involving Ms Kozarov, a former prosecutor/solicitor working in the sexual offences unit of the Office of Public Prosecutions who suffered PTSD and major depressive disorder in employment by vicarious trauma. In doing so, had occasion to consider what the Court had previously said on the issue in Koehler v Cerebos (Australia).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
