Rezensionen / Stimmen
...contains good practical advice on the new legislation whilst analysing closely its compatibility with the Human Rights Act 1998....there's plenty of material here to assist those who have both a reading and practice interest in the subject.Overall this book provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the law relating to whistleblowing.
