Dr Hilmi Kurt-Elli, a senior design engineer at Rolls-Royce's aero engine facility at Dahlewitz in eastern Germany, claims that he was dismissed for raising safety concerns with the chief executive, John Rishton.
Rolls-Royce says that Kurt-Elli was not sacked for blowing the whistle, but for his unreasonable attitude and the total breakdown of his relationship with colleagues and senior executives.
Rolls-Royce's HR department has told a tribunal in Nottingham that Kurt-Eli's allegations are extraordinary.
The presiding judge said on Tuesday: "Rolls-Royce say you made unfounded allegations about your work colleagues leading them to believe you could no longer work in the organisation. If we decide it was because of the protected disclosure, they are in trouble."
Kurt-Elli is seeking compensation of £450,000 from Rolls-Royce.
Anyone following this case, indeed, anyone who lives in the world of labour will be conscious of the importance of organisations having adequate HR facilities in place.
Is there a diocese or religious congregation in Ireland that has a professional HR department in place? Most likely not.
And so often contentious issues have little if anything to to with theology or teaching but everything do do with style, personality, hunches, misunderstandings, jealousy, careerism, laziness and inefficiency.
