Banker loses sexual harassment case

A former Commonwealth Bank worker who claimed she was sexually harassed and bullied has had her case dismissed in the Federal Court.

Justice Robert Buchanan on Friday ordered Vivienne Dye to pay costs in her case against the Commonwealth Bank and Commonwealth Securities, in which she claimed she was sexually harassed, bullied and discriminated against.

Ms Dye, who worked for CommSec between March 2005 and November 2007, was not in court in Sydney on Friday when the 239-page judgment was handed down.

Justice Buchanan said Ms Dye’s account of her case against the bank and some of its employees had been “progressively altered, re-recorded, edited, polished, embellished and even substantially changed as though it was a novel”.

The allegations she made were “in substance false” and should not have been made or pursued, the judge said.
