It is more about the generality, not specifically one case, although one case was reported in the media. We know there are cases separate from that case and possibly separate from what is happening in Gaza right now. In general terms, does Dr. Coates think the Unfair Dismissals Act is sufficiently robust to provide protection for workers who wish to express a view? We have spoken about how the international trading and export world is changing rapidly. The world of communications is also changing rapidly. It has gone from expressing a view in a social setting to putting something on social media, which has elevated things. Is the Act robust enough to deal with these cases or would it benefit from a review, refresh and update?
