Company directors, politicians and public figures, for example, may sometimes receive threats and unwanted attention which causes alarm or distress. If this occurs on more than one occasion it can be considered to be civil harassment under the Harassment Act 1997. An act of harassment is one which is unwanted, "oppressive and unacceptable".
Typically, an injunction will be sought to curb the harassment, but litigation may be necessary to recover damages and legal costs.
