If it wasn&#x27;t a grey area, why would the European Court of Human Rights be hearing it instead of a local employment tribunal? Lots of law is a grey area, with both sides putting their argument and a judge adjudicating.<p>On the other hand, an employer physically assaulting an employee (with or without warning) wouldn&#x27;t need to be heard by the ECHR because there is so much law and precedent to say that employers can&#x27;t do that.<p>This is a straw man argument, and it&#x27;s really not worth debating.
