Law/Patents - Law (general) | | Japanese term or phrase: 相談者 | | 職場におけるセクハラの指針からです。次の例文をご参考ください： 「相談窓口の担当者、人事部門又は専門の委員会等が、相談を行った労働者（以下「相談者」という）及び職場におけるセクシュアルハラスメントに係る性的な言動の行為者とされる者（以下「行為者」という）の双方から事実関係を確認すること。」どう見ても、Consultor とConsuｌterはあいまいすぎるけど、Consulteeもいけないかなあと思うから、違う言い方を探している。どうかよろしくお願いします！ |

| | English translation:Complainant, claimant | Explanation:
Probably too late to respond now, but I'm in a different time zone . . .
In Australia we usually call the person reporting a case of harassment (i.e. the 相談を行った労働者 in this case) a 'complainant' or a 'claimant'. I know that neither of these are conventional translations of 相談者, but I don't think the use of 相談 here is meant to denote a 'consultation' or 'inquiry' by the employee. I know that both 'complainant' and 'claimant' seem a little formal and legalistic in comparison with 相談者, but as the examples below show, both can be used in the context of informal (internal) processes for investigating cases of harassment. |
