Negotiating a substantial settlement in a whistleblowing-induced psychiatric injury claim for a corporate director

We advised a director at an international luxury retail management company. Amid the pandemic, our client raised unheeded concerns about financial practices, leading to a severe mental breakdown. We negotiated a confidential high-value settlement for a personal injury claim in the High Court, delivering financial stability and closure at a very early stage in the litigation process, and with our client remaining in employment and in receipt of income on a long-term basis through their permanent health insurance (sometimes known as Group Income Protection).

The team of BDBF lawyers acting in this case was Samantha Prosser and Claire Dawson.
