This is an awful decision. (And yes, I have read it.)

It sends the message that you should not blow the whistle on a corrupt firm, because you will not get credit unless you did so at the first possible opportunity. It makes no allowance for the reality of life as a paralegal or trainee, when you have little choice but to do what the boss tells you. The tribunal accepted that this young woman was "pressured, bullied and manipulated" but then punished her almost as harshly as if she had been a prime mover.

I cannot think of another SDT decision which seemed so unfair or irrational. I hope it is challenged .
