The claimant brought a claim that he was subject to detriment done on the grounds that he made protected disclosures. The claim was dismissed at a full hearing on the basis that the claimant had not made qualifying disclosures. The Tribunal failed properly to analyse whether the claimant disclosed information and, if so, whether he believed that the information tended to show a breach of a legal obligation and was made in the public interest, and whether, if held, those beliefs were reasonable. The appeal was allowed.
