Liability Risk and Insurance
Levels of compensation for whistle-blowers
In this case relating to whistle-blowers and levels of compensation, the Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled that the guidelines
laid down by the Court of Appeal on levels of compensation for injury to feelings awarded to employees subjected to race or
sex discrimination, also applied to compensation for injury to feelings awarded to whistle-blowers who had been subjected
to a detriment by their employers because they had made a protected disclosure.
