Freeman v Ultra Green Group Ltd: EAT 9 Aug 2011

EAT VICTIMISATION DISCRIMINATION – Protected disclosure
UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Automatically unfair reasons
The Tribunal erred in law in holding that words spoken at a meeting by the Claimant did not amount to information for the purposes of section 43B of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Cavendish Munro Professional Risks Management v Geduld [2010] ICR 125 applied.
The Tribunal erred in law in considering that retirement provisions within the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 inhibited the Claimant’s claim under section 103A (dismissal on grounds of protected disclosure) or of themselves limited the compensation payable. Section 98ZD(2) and (3) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 considered.
