The EAt recognised that a claimant may have valid considerations that are other than financial when bringing claims. The ET should have focused on a cumulative series of protected disclosures instead of taking only a "last straw" disclosure into account The EAT accordingly found that the claimant had been automatically unfairly dismissed contrary to Employment Rights Act (ERA) 1996 s.103A. A claim of victimisation after having made protected disclosures under theEmployment Rights Act (ERA) s.47B was remitted (returned) to the ET for consideration This case is explained in further detail here   Awards, Wages, Benefits Defending Costs Actions Discrimination Questionnaires Enforcing Judgements Help WorkRep
