Employee sues for £15 million over not having a window desk

A secretary who claims she suffers from the "winter blues" has demanded over £15million in compensation because she was not given a desk near a window.

Caryl Dontfraid is suing her ex-employers for the huge sum after being fired for refusing to work at her desk.

The 35 year old said she suffers from seasonal affective disorder which causes depression.

The problem can be eased by exposure to bright light.

But Miss Dontfraid said her request to sit near a window or a well lit area was rejected by bosses of the New York law firm where she worked.
