Tough on whistleblowers

In response to Ben's comment above, I hardly think that Michelle can be criticised for correctly summarising the implications of the judgment and for prudently advising LLPs to be careful about the drafting of agreements to avoid the impression that some LLP members are subordinate and therefore potentially workers. The answer to the obviously valid issue you pose in your comment would be for parliament to legislate to give 'real' partners some protection if they suffer any detriment because they blow the whistle. To date, parliament has not done so - something I doubt Michelle can be blamed for.
