Renton v Cantor Fitzgerald Europe

Paul Goulding QC acted for the employer in successfully resisting an appeal against an employment tribunal’s dismissal of a whistleblowing claim. The employee’s argument as to the adequacy of the reasons was really an argument as to the facts and the decision was upheld in the light of Meek and English v Emery. The EAT also held that a without prejudice letter intimating a claim in the High Court could not be construed as a grievance for the purpose of an employment tribunal action for unlawful deductions.
