Judge to hear whistleblower’s claim against nuclear organisations in Cumbria
Whitehaven News 25th Aug 2020, A whistleblower’s claim against nuclear organisations in Cumbria is to be
heard in full – a judge has decided. Alison McDermott alleged that
Sellafield Ltd, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and Heather
Roberts, former HR director at Sellafield, terminated her contract at the
nuclear plant in 2018 to silence her concerns about bullying. Last month,
Employment Judge Marion Batten, sitting at the Manchester tribunal, heard
an application from Mrs McDermott to strike-out responses from the nuclear
organisations and Ms Roberts, on the grounds they hadn’t complied with
tribunal orders of disclosure and that there was no reasonable prospect of
success.
