Of course, as with all legal cases there still needs to be
evidence that supports the claim. For example, in one case
a female employee who had been sent 1,500 emails related to
her private life during a six-month period claimed sexual
harassment; but she lost the case as other emails showed that
she had also sent joke emails of a sexual nature to other
colleagues.
For business transactions, the Limitation Act states that
the documentation needs to be retained for six years after
a contract has been completed or fulfilled. However documentation
may remain relevant (and need to be retained) long after the
statutory six-year period has expired – such as in the case
of asbestos-related illness where claims go back to incidents
that happened 20 or even 30 years ago.
