The UK Supreme Court has today ruled that members of limited liability partnerships (LLPs) have the same protection as employees in whistleblowing cases, overturning an earlier Court of Appeal decision.
In September 2012, the lower court had determined that members of LLPs are not ‘workers’ under the Employment Rights Act. Today’s ruling means an employment tribunal application brought by a former Clyde & Co partner can now be dealt with as a whistleblowing case.
