Hi
I am a whistle blower and have claimed WB detriment.
I'm going through and ET by myself as I can't afford legal representation. I have a prelim date in March to discuss disability issues.
I made a verbal Whistleblow to the 2 most senior people within my ex-employer on the same day. One accompanied me to the others office and introduced the reason for the meeting.
The fact that I made a WB was denied by person 1. They have worded it as "raising personal concerns". They have also refused to answer a request for a witness statement during the grievance process. Person 2 states that they were on holiday and therefore could not have met me. I am 100% certain this meeting happened as I was reporting fraud, financial irregularities and anit-money laundering failures. It was one of the most important meetings of my life. I cannot believe Person1&2 can't remember my disclosures. They were both 100% on board and said they were extremely concerned about my disclosures.
As part of my grievance responses person2 didn't reply to my request for proof of him not being in the office but on holiday. All I was given in response to my grievance was that there was no holiday request form or out of office.
I have also whistle blowen to the FCA (financial conduct authority) about the points I WB'd about and that I believe person 1&2 have colluded to hide my WB as there is a self reporting requirement.
The FCA have asked me to evidence this collusion and this may lead to person 1&2's deauthorisation. This will evidence the detriment and behaviour of my employer to the court (i hope).
I also have a legal assistance as part of an insurance policy but they have only given me a 45% chance of success and need more evidence. They have confirmed that evidencing person2 was in the office helps increase my chances of success to the point that they will fund my legal fees. The FCA will investigate the fitness and propriety further.
From my perspective the 1st thing for me to do is to evidence Person 2 was in his office / working on the date he says he wasn't. I have a list of items that would clearly evidence this. Mobile phone location data being number 1. office telephone history, email history. mobile call history.
Person 2 is also the lead on the ET claim and my grievance(the responce is a wonderful work of fiction from my perspective). So I can appreciate he is going to do all he can to hide is wrong doing.
What I need to know is, am I at the point where I should email the respondent's legal representative to request the items to prove Person2 was in the office and could have met me and has lied about being on holiday. When does disclosure start? Is mobile phone location data a reasonable request?
Kind regards
