The legal framework
Understanding the law behind a non-disclosure agreement helps you use it well. Here is the key UK legislation that applies:
Frequently asked questions
Is an NDA legally binding in the UK?
Yes — an NDA is an enforceable contract, provided the obligations are clear and reasonable. Courts won't enforce terms that are unreasonably broad or open-ended.
Can an NDA stop someone reporting wrongdoing?
No. NDAs cannot be used to prevent protected disclosures, including reports of sexual harassment or other whistleblowing protected under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.
