I have several questions that arise from some of the answers but we will not go through them all today. I have dealt with cases that were before the courts and the WRC. I will not go through them all.
I want to refer in particular to cases in which the interpersonal relationships within an organisation are particularly repugnant to an individual. A victim may have to suffer for a considerable time. What compensation is available in those particular cases where the victim is targeted over a period and is, in some cases, driven out of the employment by virtue of there being no recourse, as far as he or she is concerned, from any quarter and as a result, he or she is being victimised?
