The petitioner filed for divorce and sought interlocutory injunctive relief, alleging that she suffered extreme verbal and physical abuse, threats of physical violence, and assault with and without dangerous weapons.
The plaintiff alleged that she was a victim of sexual harassment by an employee of the defendant. She received a settlement from the employee. In exchange, she agreed not to pursue her claim against him, and not to call him as a witness. At issue was whether the company could be held separately liable, and if it was liable, whether the plaintiff had released her claims against the company in her settlement with the employee.
