The claimant, an ambulance paramedic, claimed he had made protected disclosures over changes to the training requirements for the role. During investigation he also claimed he had suffered a series of detriments. The ET had rejected the complaints. In this hearing an intervenor, a whistleblowing charity, was involved as there was a substantive issue of law raised by a cross-appeal namely whether the employment tribunal has the power to make an award for non-pecuniary losses in respect of a whistleblowing-detriment claim.

HHJ Auerbach rejected both the appeal and the cross-appeal, as broadly the ET had been entitled to find as they did.
