infliction of mental disteree

  • 1.  infliction of mental disteree

    Posted 3 hours ago

    I have a matter where my client, a woman in her early 40ies, allowed her boyfriend, and his children on weekends to live in her home for a period of 9-10 years, before she had enough and filed for an ejectment

    Boyfriend then filed in Chancery a claim for an interest in her home

     

    We countered with a claim for battered person syndrome, intentional and negligent infliction of mental distress followed by a defamation action due to his contacting her employer and falsely accusing her of improper conduct with her employer's customers

     

    My client has sought treatment with a psychologist and has been diagnosed with PTSD because of being manipulated, coerced, gaslighted, lied to, was transmitted a venereal infection and on and on

     

    My query has anyone had a similar matter or a Tevis claim for which they were successful and if successful how much the court awarded your client
