There are fewer than five legal cases concerning remuneration of FCO employees in each year from 2003 to date, and any compensation paid is subject to a legally binding compromise agreement containing a confidentiality clause. Therefore, in line with Cabinet Office guidance details are not provided to avoid revealing the identity of individuals and on grounds of confidentiality.
