Knight v London Borough of Harrow: EAT 29 Oct 2003

EAT Practice and Procedure – Striking-out/dismissal.
Burton J said: ‘It is thus necessary in a claim under section 47B to show that the fact that the protected disclosure had been made caused or influenced the employer to act (or not act) in the way complained of: merely to show that ‘but for’ the act or omission would not have occurred. Merely to show that ‘but for’ the disclosure the act or omission would not have occurred is not enough’

Judges:

The Honourable Mr Justice Burton (P)
