</div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. FACTS<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The plaintiff herein until the 15th
day of January, 2016 was the Deputy Finance Manageress &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; of the defendant herein which is a company incorporated under
the laws of Ghana as a non-banking financial institution and deals in the
business of providing financial services to the general public. <o:p></o:p>The plaintiff was initially appointed by
the defendant in the year 2011 as a Senior Officer and she worked in the accounts
department of the defendant company and she later rose through the ranks to the
level of a Deputy Finance Manageress before her appointment was terminated by
the defendant on the 15th day of January 2016 with immediate effect.

officers of the defendant, especially its Director of Administration in the
person of Mrs Sheila Obeng, subjected her (plaintiff) to degrading treatment by

says she was driven out of the office and thus denied the opportunity to
prepare her handover notes.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The plaintiff also claims that her right to
personal dignity was violated by the conduct of the officials of the defendant
