Improper use of non-disclosure agreements

The LSB's summary report, ‘The misuse of NDAs: call for evidence themes and summary of evidence’, includes responses from 74 individuals with personal experience including imbalances of power such as employer/employee, divorce and consumer disputes, access to justice issues and a lack of understanding about legal rights. 

The LSB is analysing whether current regulation is sufficiently robust to safeguard against unethical conduct. 

Matthew Hill, LSB chief executive, said: ‘Where NDA misuse occurs, it can have a devastating impact on people’s lives.’
