PHA Judgment Stands in Nurse’s Case | Bahamas News
Description
A former nurse’s fight for justice against the Public Hospitals Authority hits a major milestone: the court has rejected the PHA’s attempt to overturn a default judgment, leaving them liable for over $364,000 in damages. Khaula Reid, who worked for the PHA since 2007 and earned advanced degrees, developed severe health issues from toxic fumes at Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre in 2013. Despite medical advice to avoid hospital environments, the PHA denied her requests for remote work or reassignment, eventually cutting her pay and dismissing her in 2021. The court found the PHA’s defenses weak, especially on their duty to accommodate, and dismissed claims that her lawsuit was filed too late. With no real chance of winning, the judge ruled the judgment must stand — now the focus shifts to calculating exactly how much Ms. Reid is owed.
