An employee has failed to convince the Federal Court that the real reason for his dismissal was not alleged s-xual harassment, but because he accused his manager of defamation on numerous occasions.

An employee can no longer pursue her unfair dismissal action after a commission found she sent "vicious" and threatening emails to numerous people, which had the potential to interfere with her case.
