Claiming dismissal as a whistleblowing detriment

Joseph England analyses the case of Wicked Vision Ltd v Rice [2024] EAT 29, in which the EAT re-confirms the Court of Appeal's decision in Osipov concerning a claimant's ability to claim for detriments that precede dismissal against a co-worker and against the corporate employer for its vicariously liability even if the losses that flow amount to those that flow from dismissal; and that a Claimant can claim for the detriment of dismissal against a co-worker.

The EAT however departs from the Court of Appeal in asserting that a Claimant is very unlikely to be able to claim for the detriment of dismissal against the corporate employer, having applied scrutiny to the Court's ratio in Osipov.

Criminal ban on returning to unauthorised encampments declared incompatible with ECHR

Ben Amunwa writes about the High Court’s decision in Smith v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2024] EWHC 1137 (Admin), and its finding that key parts of the Police, Crime, Sentencing Courts Act 2022 amendments to Part V of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, were unlawful. The amendments strengthened powers available in response to concerns about anti-social conduct perceived to be associated with ‘unauthorised encampments’. The Court’s judgment finds that the criminal law restrictions on persons who return to unauthorised encampments were a disproportionate and unjustified interference with the ECHR article 14 rights of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers.

The High Court’s decision means that Parliament now needs to amend the legislation so it is compatible with the UK’s human rights obligations.
