Nick Siddall KC and Grahame Anderson victorious in seminal whistleblowing appeal

Littleton’s Nick Siddall QC and Grahame Anderson have secured victory in the Court of Appeal for the Respondent – GIB Limited – in one of the most hotly awaited whistleblowing decisions in recent years.

The appeal – Kong v Gulf International Bank (UK) Limited (Protect Intervening) – was decided by Simler, Underhill and Elizabeth Laing LJJ and will no doubt be reported in short order. It analyses the scope of and proper approach to the so-called “separability principle” in whistleblowing cases and, indeed, more broadly. A fuller analysis will follow shortly.

The Court of Appeal hearing was live streamed on the Court of Appeal’s Court 71 YouTube channel, which can be accessed here.
