Whistleblowing
From 6 April 2010 a claimant wishing to make a whistleblowing claim (e.g. "I was dismissed because I made a complaint about a breach of health and safety provisions") can choose for the Tribunal to pass on the claim to a prescribed regulator. Damages for whistleblowing claims are uncapped and such claims are often used as bargaining chips to get a higher settlement and this trend can only increase in light of the change in ET procedure.
