The court rejected the claim by Jarallah al-Malki that he and his wife were entitled to diplomatic immunity after the domestic workers took their claims of low pay and poor conditions to an employment tribunal.
The judgment was described as a “major breakthrough” for low-paid domestic workers in diplomatic households in the UK and around the world.
