Bank of Credit and Commerce International Sa (In Compulsory Liquidation) v Munawar Ali, Sultana Runi Khan And Others (No 3): ChD 25 Jun 1999

In order for an employee to claim that his employer was conducting his business in an unlawful manner so as to destroy the relationship of trust and confidence between them, the activity had to be such that the employee could not reasonably be expected to work for a moment longer after discovering the illegality. The evidence to establish a claim for stigma damages would be expected to be of a high standard, and the employers view obtained before proceedings were issued.
