Infosys said in a statement later, “Today's decision confirms what we have been saying from the beginning: Mr. Palmer's claims of retaliation were completely unfounded. This is a company built on core values that include leadership by example, integrity and transparency.  Those values always have and will continue to shape the way we do business with our clients and, without exception, the way we treat our people.  We are pleased to consider this matter officially closed.”

Palmer expressed his disappointment with the court's orders in a statement issued by his attorney Kenneth J Mendelsohn who said, “While Palmer and I obviously are disappointed in the results, we certainly respect Judge Thompson's decision. It is important for the public to understand that Judge Thompson did not condone Infosys' conduct. He merely concluded that under current Alabama law, Palmer has no right to recover from Infosys.”

Judge Thompson even stated that an argument could be made that such threats against whistleblowers should be illegal.
