So my cousin had a book thrown at her by her mananger at a property agency she works for because she made a mistake or something. He’s done it once before but gave her a written apology.

What can she do

This is UK.

Jackpot!! Its a straightforward lawsuit. There is no way he can defend himself. And i dont see any repercussion either. your cousin can turn this lawsuit either way i mean as hard as she wants.

Well the first question is wut does yr cousin want exactly? As I said she can take it either way.

A) contact HR to make a official complaint (or whoever the recuriter/superior is)
B) wait for 2 days, most likely she'll receive an official apology.
Now if she accepts apology, things will move on and wait till she gets hit next time.
Else if she doesnt accept apology:
C) Contact lawyer (or even file a lawsuit herself) I'm sure in britian its not that difficult to fill in the paperwork to file a lawsuit. Make sure she has all the timestamps and other detail note down

but if they contact lawyer they'll be in a better shape as they'll tell exactly how far they can go

Contact a lawyer.

Re: manager hits employee

Any chance your friend meant it in a figurative way? I mean you say she made a mistake.

If she meant it literally, contact a lawyer first.

Be play full. Bring a sling shot, with marbles.
