One cheer for whistleblowers following Court of Appeal ruling 

“We’re pleased that – for now – our intervention has helped retain valuable rights for whistleblowing employees.

The case before the Court was determining whether employees who are dismissed may also bring a detriment claim against the individual who decided to dismiss them (just like workers).

However, the judgment illustrates that the law as it stands is unsatisfactory and it would be helpful if Parliament now resolved the issue. Whistleblowing cases are already complex – the law needs to be consistent and simpler to access.

Our thanks to the pro-bono team who successfully represented us in our intervention: Schona Jolly KC and Dee Masters from Cloisters and solicitors from CM Murray LLP.”
