The Cut and Fit of an Anti-Sexual Harassment Suit
Recently in Australia (2011), the Kristy Fraser-Kirk sexual harassment lawsuit against David Jones and its CEO claimed damages to the tune of $37 million. Was it an overpriced cost in cutting an anti-sexual harassment suit in a modern world?
Consider the power of money and its role in undermining the power and sway of the KKK in the USA while noting that organisation was not eliminated. Laws alone are not protection when moneyed defendants can protract cases and force punitive costs on the plaintiff. Plaintiffs need paid legal representation inbuilt into legislation to avoid further punitive consequences beyond the abuse of sexual harassment. That cost should be recouped from the defendant when a guilty verdict is made.
