The main legislation governing harassment is the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. This act makes it a criminal offence for a person to pursue a course of conduct that amounts to harassment of another if they know or ought to know that it amounts to harassment. As such, offences prosecuted under this act are criminal offences and will be tried in a criminal court.
The act was introduced to address stalking and other persistent forms of harassment but applies more broadly to any repeated behaviour that causes distress or alarm, including everything from unwanted phone calls to verbal abuse. Some types of harassment may also fall under domestic violence laws, with the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 meaning that some harassment offences between family members are treated more seriously. There is also an offence called "controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate or family relationship" under the Serious Crime Act 2015.
In rare cases, harassment may be addressed through civil law at a county court. Victims could apply for an injunction under the Protection from Harassment Act, or claim they were harassed in the context of a civil employment or housing dispute.
At Tyler Hoffman, our legal experts can assess the circumstances under which you have been accused, advise you of the charges or penalties you may be facing and begin building a defence as soon as you contact us.
There are several offences under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, covering most of the main types of harassment under the law.

Breaching such an order is a criminal offence, punishable by up to five years' imprisonment. Restraining orders issued following criminal proceedings may also prohibit contact with family members.
