💨 Abstract

A U.K. woman, Lorna Rooke, received nearly £30,000 in compensation after a colleague compared her to Darth Vader during a team-building personality quiz in 2021. Rooke, an NHS blood donation worker, felt insulted and unpopular due to the comparison, leading to her resignation. The employment judge agreed that the comparison was upsetting and awarded her compensation for detriment after a protected disclosure, though other claims were dismissed.
