22 Oct 2025 Gate GourmetTribunal: Gate Gourmet files no response – £20,000 to whistleblower United KingdomRetaliation against whistleblowers €23,018

Because Gate Gourmet failed to file a response to the claim despite repeated requests, the Manchester Employment Tribunal found that there had been detriment on grounds of a protected disclosure and in January 2026 awarded £15,000 for loss of earnings and £5,000 for injury to feelings. An application for reconsideration, based on an email inbox that was no longer monitored, was refused.

Correspondence from authorities and courts must go to monitored addresses – missed deadlines turn a defensible claim into a default judgment.
