Details

Whistleblowing claims are some of the most complex and technical cases that can be pursued. This book provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the law in this field. The topic has received increased attention in recent years as a result of several high profile cases and incidents across a wide range of areas. Such claims are increasingly common, can be brought by workers and employees and do not require a specific length of service. A thorough understanding of the legal framework, as provided in this new publication, is essential.

This publication explains the various legislative requirements to whistleblowing, covering topics including:
who can be a whistleblower within the legal definition;
when raising a concern is elevated to be a protected disclosure;
the law relating to detriments and dismissal if caused by a protected disclosure;
what remedies are available
practical points about the procedure of claims.

The book provides an in-depth practical guide to the law and a very useful reference tool for practitioners on both sides of a dispute, as well as assisting litigants acting without a lawyer to comprehend the law in this complex area.
