In 1997, the Labour Court rejected a worker’s complaint that a company dismissed her because she protested sexual harassment. The decision was dated 17 November 1997.
The worker said a director made sexually suggestive remarks and that she was dismissed after objecting. The company denied the allegations and said it dismissed her for poor work performance. The Court rejected the company’s time-limit argument, finding the complaint was made within six months of the dismissal.
On the substance, the Court was not satisfied there was a link between the worker’s complaints and her dismissal, and rejected the claim.
