The applicant was a school nurse who was suspended after disclosing facts about her employers. She said that the employers were in breach of the Act in failing to re-instate her once the 1998 Act came into force.
Held: The events about which complaint could be made all came before the Act came into effect in July 1999. A continuing failure to lift the suspension after that date was not itself was not an act of detriment. No cause of action arose.
