Accra High court dismisses sexual harassment case against First Atlantic Bank, slaps ‘Side chick’ GHc6K cost

The complaint brought against First Atlantic Bank by former National Service Person Deborah Sayram Adablah, who accused the bank and its former Chief Finance Officer, Ernest Kwasi Nimako, has been dismissed by the Accra High Court.

The Court presided over by Justice Olivia Obeng Owusu, also slapped on Adablah, (Plaintiff) a cost of GHc6,000 as compensation to the bank.

This was after lawyers of the First Atlantic Bank had requested for GHc50, 000 and the Plaintiff offered to pay GHc5,000.

Adablah filed a lawsuit against Ernest Kwasi Nimako, a former Chief Finance Officer (First Defendant), and the bank (Second Defendant), alleging sexual harassment among other things.

Lawyers of the Bank filed a motion to have the name of the Bank struck out of the case.

In a ruling on the motion on Friday July 21, the Court Presided over by Justice Olivia Obeng Owusu struck out the name of First Atlantic Bank from the case.

Meanwhile, Lawyers of the Plaintiff (Deborah Adablah) had on June 15, 2023 filed a motion to set aside the ruling of the Court for execution and order for preservation of the Vehicle which is one of the subject matters in dispute.

On the other hand, lawyers of Kwasi Nimako have also filed a contempt case against Adablah for certain publications made after the court had barred the parties from doing so.
