Abstract

This paper will seek to establish that a duty of trust and confidence of the kind envisaged by Lord Nicholls in Malik v. Bank of Credit and Commerce International SA ("Malik") ought not be implied at law into contracts of employment, so as to allow compensation for employees who suffer psychological injuries as a result of the manner in which they are dismissed.
