Vitality Works Australia Pty Ltd v. Yelda (No 2), Court of Appeal, Supreme Court of New South Wales (2021)

The respondent alleged that she had been sexually harassed in her workplace. The complaint related to the display of a poster as part of a work health and safety campaign showing a photograph of the respondent over which the caption had been written 'Feel great - lubricate'. While the respondent had consented to the use of her photo in the poster, she had not been informed about the caption. The NSW Court of Appeal upheld the finding of sexual harassment.
