Whistleblowing and Legal Framework

Whistleblowing claims are defined by the legal protections individuals have when making protected disclosures, particularly under the Employment Rights Act (ERA). The discussion revolves around two specific causes of action: automatic unfair dismissal under Section 103A and detriment claims under Section 47B. The significance of this case lies in understanding how these claims interact when the alleged detriment is a dismissal. This dichotomy creates challenges in determining the appropriate legal framework under which a claim can be successfully pursued, as each section requires different causation levels to be established.
