Terrible Jaguar re-brand

It’s not illegal. He broke his contract regarding NDA which is miss conduct. That’s my take on it anyway.

Imagine Ricardo doing consultancy for mclarens new engine then posting issues all over the internet.

JLR are apparently ignoring or hiding safety issues. That's illegal. Any clause in a contract or NDA is void if you do that.

He is taking them to a tribunal and he'll probably win.

Oh right, so you can just go break any contract without issue as long as it relevant to someone? the other fact is there is a legal safety investigation ongoing in the US. Safety concerns are different to illegal activity. Many cars have issues that the general public are no made aware of. Its called engineering.

Tata also own, tata consultancy and tata motors, why this has JLR in the title is beyond me. He's not even an employee there!

Have you ever done jury service? you cant tell people about that either.

the article is interesting because it shows what tata's other business arms are .. who hadn't thought did they already make cars before jlr purchase and how might they help
(even though this consultancy work was for another manufacturer)

oh wow, this is news? Never heard of TATA motors? Tata bought JLR when PAG broke up (Premier Auto Group - Volvo, Ford, JLR)

The point is TATA are alleged to have had JLR sack someone who raised concerns about one of their clients cars. It’s not that there are issues with JLR cars, but the culture of actively covering up poor business practices.

The optics aren’t good.

He was 'agency'

If major concerns are reported and they just ignore it, it's illegal...

Especially when they actively get rid of the one raising it.

Are agency/consultants ever sacked? The whole purpose is they are let go when no longer needed.

Well unless the statement that he's taking them to a tribunal is a lie or completely wrong, it would suggest that he was employed rather than contracting, because I don't think you can start the tribunal process if you were only an agency/contractor.

Well he’s agency so good luck to him. Hence the whole article is ridiculous. And how the hell have they use JLR electric car in the title ? The issue is nothing to do with JLR products.

It’s like saying Toyota are involved with a faulty guitar

Yes it is, they skipped over safety precautions. The act covers workers and members of the public/customers.

Same as if a mechanic doesn't fit your brakes properly and you have an accident. They are held responsible.

Obvious troll now, unless you are really this stupid? What 'act'.

Newsflash, people have different views of safety, robust design, use case, etc when designing anything, no one has broke the suspension strength law here. Look at Audi with the famous aluminium wheels that broke (to save suspension) is this illegal or a decision made? I think you have no idea about engineering. You also never reply to any counter arguments and just go off on a new idea to try and make yourself look clever it seems. Have you googled how a heat pump works yet?

Lol the article literally says parts were not installed on the cars properly. It seems YOU didn't read it.


"We saw, for example, the front strut-to-knuckle connection was loosening, which could be extremely dangerous," he said. "It could cause a loosening of the entire structure that could cause wheels to come off.
"In a crash scenario, it could be completely unsafe. It could cause the vehicle to lose control."

Also

"He told the BBC that in test-driving prototypes, designed by Tata Technologies for Vietnamese car maker Vinfast, he identified improperly designed components in the car's chassis, including its suspension system.
At low mileages, some of them were snapping off, he said."

They released the cars anyway. Not legal. Probably broke another law too as the cars aren't roadworthy like that.
