Wetherell (Appellant/Claimant) v Student Loans Co Ltd (Respondent/Defendant)
Wednesday 18 March 2026
The claim is for damages for personal injury. From 2012 to 2014, the Claimant worked in the Defendant’s call centre and says he suffered tinnitus from spikes of noise from a headset.
The Claimant issued proceedings in negligence under Council Directives, alleging that his employer failed to provide suitable work equipment and that the Directives were directly enforceable against the Defendant.
At trial, the judge dismissed the claim, holding that the Defendant was not an emanation of the State.
