Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal heard the full case and rejected all three complaints on their merits: the claimant failed to establish that she was subjected to detriment for making a protected disclosure, that her dismissal was automatically unfair under the whistleblowing provisions, or that her dismissal was unfair.
