Whistleblowing: Law and Practice is the leading reference work on whistleblowing law and practice in England and Wales, offering up-to-date, practical guidance on the key issues that arise in practice, and making use of checklists and worked examples. The book provides comprehensive coverage of the protection given to whistleblowers by the Employment Rights Act and other legislation, and the way in which the European Convention on Human Rights affects the approach to statutory interpretation. It also provides a detailed survey of the principles of the common law and equity as they relate to whistleblowing, and the interface between copyright and defamation law and whistleblowing.
The 4th edition of Whistleblowing: Law and Practice provides analysis of judgements made since the previous edition, including the Supreme Court judgements on Royal Mail Group Ltd v Jhuti and Gilham v Ministry of Justice, and Court of Appeal judgements on Kilraine v London Borough of Wandsworth and International Petroleum Ltd and others v Osipov and other. The book also includes changes to NHS and EU legislation regarding whistleblowing.
