Mr Brooks and 3 others are claiming more than £8 million against ODL Securities in a whistleblowing constructive dismissal case at the Stratford (London East) Employment Tribunal. In early May 2007 a tribunal chairman refused ODL's application for an order for disclosure of documents, alternatively an order for additional information to be provided by Mr Brooks and the 3 other claimants. The documents concerned included documents related to an allegation of criminality and the provision of uniformed police guards.
