Historical sexual harassment & discrimination

[Libbyoko]

Back in 1981, I lost my job because I refused to have sex with my manager. My colleague didn’t refuse and kept hers. The company is still in business.
With sexual harassment & discrimination stories in the news, it’s brought it all back to me again. I’m wondering if it’s worth talking to a solicitor about pursuing a claim against the company.

But is the manager still there? Is your colleague still there? Is ANYONE still there who was there at the time?

I would imagine constructive dismissal has to be fought for within a shorter period of time than that.

I can’t see you being able to pursue a civil claim this long after the event. If it’s a claim against a former employer for discrimination, harassment and unfair dismissal then the time limit for bringing a claim would be 3 months. That can be extended in certain circumstances but almost certainly not to 1981.

Sorry this happened to you
