M. DORDZIE, J.A.:<o:p></o:p>The plaintiff who is now the respondent in this
appeal is an employee of the 1st and 2nddefendantappellant
companies since 1985. She became one of the directors of the companies when one
of the directors died. The 3rd and 4th defendants are
directors and shareholders of the said companies. The plaintiff alleged that
the 3rd defendant subjected her to sexual harassment throughout her
period of employment with the companies. According to plaintiff, relationship
between her and the 3rd defendant who is the Managing director of
the 1stdefendant company became unpleasant in 2010 when she turned
down his proposals to spend time with him on holiday in the USA. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>She was removed as a director of the companies, her
work schedules were taken from her, she was denied payment of some allowances
she was entitled to and she was generally discriminated against in the work
place.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>She therefore instituted an action at the High
Court against the defendants jointly and severally praying for the following reliefs
as per the amended writ of summons filed on the 14th of November
2014<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration
that the purported “Termination of appointment as Director” of the 1st
Defendant Company is void.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Declaration that
the purported “Termination of appointment as Director” of the 2nd
Defendant Company is void.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>3.<span</main>
