How long can he hold back the press/twitter etc...
I wonder how long it will be before someone names the guy splashed all over the front pages this morning? I do wonder why he bothered with the 500k he's spent trying to shut this down as the truth always comes out in the end.

The claimant doesn't want it to come out so really the papers should just leave it alone. They won't as they can whip it up into a frenzy to sell papers but we shouldn't really give a shit. It was settled out of court, the claimant got something they were happy with and signed an NDA so we should all just move on.

Depending on the extent of the allegations there is a reasonable argument that it's in the public interest. What you're saying is partly what allowed Weinstein to get away with his behaviour for decades.

NDAs in Compromise Agreements, for example, are fine but there may be a public interest angle regarding this individual.

Absolutely, how does an NDA protect the next person in line from their abuse?!
An NDA to try protect against accusations of probable illegal activity should be banned, even if technically charges can still be brought, they are doing their very best to minimise the chance of that happening. |

So no idle speculation from anyone?
The obvious ones are Lord Sugar, or one of those off Dragons Den, maybe Mike Ashley or Philip Green. Outside bet on Martin Sorrel perhaps...

I wouldn't be the one to speculate on an open forum, it'll only get the thread closed down, I was just wondering why they try and hold back this stuff as it always gets out.

I'm married to a former employment solicitor so I've seen lots of examples of both sides where it either takes far too long for someone to bring a legitimate claim to an employment tribunal or where claims are such a load of shite that they should just be thrown out however if it got into the public domain it could cause the person accused irreparable damage as press retractions aren't in 80 font on the front page like the accusations are. |

Given his sudden exit from the company, and rumours of inappropriate behaviour, Sorrel is a valid suggestion.

Whoever it is has a lot of money (£500k spend on the gagging orders?) and a lot to lose from the sounds of it. Cant see the silence lasting that long, in spite of the NDA's, as the press will get hold of his identity before too long, as they always do. Gagging orders seem pretty unethical in these contexts, as others have said.

For me it's about balance and it's not balanced if someone can, because they are rich and powerful offer these NDAs, if you or I were in the same situation we wouldn't be able to seek such a remedy, we'd have to defend the allegation on its merits. And that would be really inconvenient if we had actually committed the allegations.
