The Accra High Court has decided against Deborah Seyram Adablah, who accused a former Chief Finance Officer of a bank, Ernest Kwasi Nimako, of sexual harassment.
The court dismissed Adablah’s complaint on November 28, presided over by Justice John Bosco Nabarese, finding that while the two’s connection was deemed immoral and against societal norms, there was no legitimate cause of action based on the filed writ.
The court stated that the relationship’s foundation should not be endorsed judicially, noting, “You cannot recover the price of something you have committed into an immoral act.”
Judge John Bosco Nabarese presided over the court’s November 28 verdict in which Adablah’s lawsuit was dismissed. The court reasoned that while the two’s connection was considered immoral and against societal norms, there was no plausible cause of action based on the filed writ.
The court declared, “You cannot recover the price of something you have committed into an immoral act,” indicating that the relationship’s foundation should not be supported by the legal system.
As a result, the plaintiff, Deborah Seyram Adablah, was ordered to pay GH10,000 in costs.
This ruling comes after the previous Chief Finance Officer asked the court to dismiss Adablah’s complaint.
Adablah’s initial suit, filed on January 23, 2023, alleged that Nimako, whom she referred to as her “sugar daddy,” made various promises to her, including buying her a car, covering her accommodation for three years, providing a GH3,000 monthly stipend, marrying her after divorcing his wife, and offering a lump sum to start a business.
The complainant stated that, despite the fact that the car was first registered in Nimako’s name, he later returned it after only a year. Furthermore, she claimed that Nimako only paid for one year of housing while pledging three years.
Adablah sought court orders to transfer the car’s title into her name, return the car, pay the lump sum for starting a business, pay the outstanding two years’ rent, and cover medical expenses incurred as a result of the side effects of a family planning treatment recommended by Nimako.
