Bite-sized Legal Update: Claim back the secret commissions paid to your energy brokers

7/4/2023
Secret commissions paid to brokers have been a bane of many SME transactions over the years with large suppliers from loans to energy contracts. In the supply of gas and electricity, Ofgem, the regulator, has sought to bring daylight to the practice which can lead to the doubling of energy pricing in which the secret commission is added to the rate paid by the customer who is contracting through a broker. In cases highlighted by Ofgem the broker represents the customer in the bargain seeking the best price but the supplier secretly makes the broker a payment that can be likened to a bribe. Customers can claim back the commission and more. In this video interview David Greene explains the principles and what you can do about it.

Bite-sized Legal Update: Protections for Senior Executives raising concerns about discrimination

5/17/2023
Employment Partner Emma Sangeelee discusses how understood and applied correctly, the law can offer a shield to individuals raising concerns about discrimination. Emma outlines the proper process an employer should follow in dealing with your grievance and the repercussions if they do not. She explains that further victimisation claims may arise if you are treated less favourably for raising your concerns and that these may often be easier to prove and can substantially strengthen your legal position. Finally, recognising that individuals who have suffered discrimination may also have experienced anxiety and/or depression for some time, Emma outlines an employer’s obligations to manage the stresses of the grievance process and not to discriminate because of something arising from anxiety and/or depression (for example, if this has affected your recent performance or how you interact with key individuals). Raising concerns about discrimination can be daunting but the employment team at Edwin Coe are experts in this field and are here to support you.
