Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant claimed damages for sexual harassment by the first respondent between September 2002 and June 2003 while employed by the second respondent. After her dismissal, she pursued the matter through arbitration which found in her favour in March 2014. She then instituted High Court proceedings for damages in June 2014. The High Court upheld a prescription plea, finding the claim had prescribed by 2003.
