  • Whistleblowing: Protected disclosure can be made up of several communications taken together

    Date:

    30 June 2014

    In Norbrook Laboratories (GB) Ltd v Shaw EAT/0150/13, the EAT held that a worker had made a protected disclosure within the meaning of s.43B(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, by warning of the danger of sales representatives being required to drive in heavy snow. This was a disclosure of information tending to show a risk to health and safety and went beyond a mere assertion or expression of opinion. The fact that the disclosure was made through three separate emails to two different people did not alter the fact that a protected disclosure had been made.

    The Employment Appeal Tribunal agreed with an employment tribunal that emails sent by the claimant taken together were capable of amounting to qualifying disclosures, even though the emails were sent to different individuals in different departments.

  North and others v Dumfries and Galloway Council [2011] IRLR 239 CS (2 reports relating to this case)

  • Equal pay: Not necessary to show "real possibility" of comparator from different establishment doing same work at claimant's establishment for comparator to be "in the same employment"

    Date:

    1 June 2011

    In North and others v Dumfries and Galloway Council [2011] IRLR 239 CS, the Court of Session held that the EAT's "real possibility" test incorrectly placed an additional hurdle on claimants and amounted to an error of law. However, the claimants' argument that they were in the same employment as their comparators failed on the evidence.

  • Equal pay: test for choosing comparators at different establishments

    Date:

    18 January 2011

    The Court of Session has said that the Employment Appeal Tribunal incorrectly placed an extra hurdle in equal pay claims when it said that, for a claimant to rely on a comparator employed at a different establishment, there must be a "real possibility" of the comparator doing the same, or a broadly similar, job at the claimant's place of work.
