Claimant v Methods Business and Digital Technology Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
This was a preliminary hearing to determine an application to amend the claim to include Further Particulars of Protected Disclosure. The tribunal granted permission for the amendment, allowing the claimant to rely on these particulars. The substantive whistleblowing claim has not yet been determined.
Facts
The claimant Glaucia Pereira brought a claim against Methods Business and Digital Technology Limited in 2022. The claim appears to involve whistleblowing allegations. On 15 June 2025, the claimant served Further Particulars of Protected Disclosure and applied to amend her claim to rely upon these particulars. The respondent opposed the application through their legal representative Mrs De Saulle.
Decision
At a preliminary hearing conducted remotely via CVP on 15 July 2025, Employment Judge Oldroyd granted the claimant's application to amend her claim. The claimant is now entitled to rely upon the Further Particulars of Protected Disclosure served on 15 June 2025. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
Tribunals may grant applications to amend claims to include further particulars of protected disclosures in whistleblowing cases, even where such particulars are provided several years after the original claim was filed.
