Supreme Court rules judges are entitled to same protections as whistleblowers

District Judge Claire Gilham wins her landmark case against the Ministry of Justice at the Supreme Court. She claims she was bullied after after raising concerns over government cuts.  Judges are not afforded legal protections afforded to whistleblowers under current legislation as they are classed as office holders, rather than workers, but the Supreme Court ruled that the judge, and other judicial office holders, are entitled to these same protections.
