If you and the other part of the NDA are not both in the same country, the NDA must indicate which law governs the agreement. Remember that England and Wales have a different legal system than Scotland. It will also have to indicate in which courts it can be applied. It is important that a country`s courts are not exclusively competent. You can enforce the NDA in another country if unauthorized disclosure is made. „While there is no indication as to when the new legislation will come into force, employers should now review the confidentiality clauses in employment contracts and settlement contracts to determine if changes are needed,“ Corden said. The decision follows a consultation on the proposals (28 pages / 639KB PDF). While the government recognizes that there is a legitimate place to use confidentiality clauses signed as part of an employment contract or conciliation agreement, they should not be used to intimidate victims of harassment and discrimination. If the NDA is one-sided, it may be necessary to carry it out as an act to make it applicable. It`s easy to do, so don`t do what should be a unilateral agreement in a reciprocal artificial agreement. You should be realistic. The person you are talking to may be forced to share your information with others. They may be their employees or their professional advisors.

The Government welcomes the Committee`s report on the use of confidentiality agreements in cases of discrimination and agrees with the Committee that it is unacceptable that cases of sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace are concealed by the use of confidentiality clauses or confidentiality agreements (NDA). The government also believes that there is a legitimate place for confidentiality agreements signed as part of an employment contract or transaction agreement. However, these agreements cannot be silenced and victims of harassment and discrimination intimidated. In its recent response to this investigation, the government outlined its „measures to prevent the misuse of confidentiality clauses in situations of harassment or discrimination in the workplace.“ This response, as well as the launch of their consultation on the broader issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, reflect the UK`s continued focus on workplace harassment. Instead, the government said efforts should focus on preventing sexual harassment and discrimination. So it has launched a consultation in this regard,“ Corden said. A confidentiality agreement (also known as a confidentiality agreement) is a legal contract that provides protection when two or more parties disclose confidential information. Employers should be informed of these reforms and proposals, as they will have an impact on the approach to entering into confidentiality agreements during employment and termination. In addition, we are seeing a trend towards strengthening worker protection in this area, with potential criminal and civil consequences for employers with respect to sexual offences (whether by making ourselves responsible for harassing workers or agents or by taking action against an employer for non-compliance with harassment protection).
