In Hinton v University of East London, the Court of Appeal holds that the EAT had erred in law in striking out a claim brought under s.47B of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (the right not to be subjected to a detriment for making a protected disclosure) on the basis that it was precluded by a general clause in an agreement which purported to compromise all claims arising under statute, common law or otherwise.
