I’m not sure if this is the correct section to post this in so please move if needed
I settled my claim against my former employer out of court though acas, part of the agreement has the below paragraph, which I believe is standard ?
“The Claimant will refrain from making, disseminating, repeating or passing any adverse or derogatory comments in relation to the Respondent or any Group Company and/or any employee, agent or officer of the Respondent or any Group Company and/or taking part in any conduct conducive or potentially conducive to the bringing of the Respondent or any Group Company or any employee, agent or officer of the Respondent or any Group Company into disrepute.”
In an unrelated issue I provided a witness statement to an inquest into the death of a young girl who was a service user of the company at the time of her death, this was all long before making the above agreement.
I’m now concerned that the agreement will stop myself being able to take part in the inquest which I’ve been requested by the coroner to attend. I hope I’m incorrect and overthinking things as it’s totally unrelated to my settlement.
