Sullivan v Isle of Wight - Applicant Whistleblowers

Oliver Jackson talks to Aliya Al-Yassin about Sullivan v Isle of Wight Council [2025] EWCA Civ 379, the Court of Appeal’s important decision that, outside of the NHS, external job applicants cannot bring whistleblowing claims. Why can’t external job applicants bring whistleblowing claims? Is being a job applicant a ‘status’ for the purposes of Article 14 of the ECHR? What counts as a detriment in the whistleblowing legislation?
