Whistleblowing is now considered to be among the most effective, if not the most effective, means to expose and remedy corruption, fraud, and other types of wrongdoing in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Whistleblowers, or Bellringers as they are known in the Netherlands, often face, however, severe personal and professional repercussions including, for employees, dismissal.
The Protected Disclosures Act 2014 introduced a single overarching framework for the protection of whistleblowers. In the decade since its enactment, there have been significant decisions of the Labour Court and the Superior Courts, such as the Supreme Court decision in Baranya v Rosderra Irish Meats Group.
More importantly, the European Commission, in April 2018, published a proposal for a Directive on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law, which was then adopted as Parliament and Council Directive (EU) 2019/1937. The Directive was transposed by the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022 by expanding both the material and personal scope of the 2014 Act and by requiring all public bodies, as well as private sector employers with more than 50 employees, to establish formal channels and procedures for the making and receiving of protected disclosures. The Office of the Protected Disclosures Commissioner is also established.
This edition includes the full text of the amended 2014 Act, with each section fully annotated by reference to relevant case law, books, journal articles and parliamentary debates. It is intended to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of a complex and important area of law which, as the Commissioner indicated in his 2023 Annual Report, is ‘not straightforward and thus is open to being misunderstood’.

Examines the transformative effect of the internet and social media on the employment relationship, and how this presents new challenges for lawmakers and the courts alike.
The authors examine the theoretical and legal frameworks which underpin privacy, data protection, free speech, and property rights and interests. The authors apply these principles to the challenges presented by internet speech, with particular emphasis on the employment relationship.
The book spans the pre-employment stage of recruitment, the period of the employment contract itself, and the post-employment phase dealing with such issues as defamation, privacy and surveillance, cyber bullying and harassment, damage to business reputation, theft of confidential business information and the remedies available when breaches of rights occur.
Key features
"The book is truly comprehensive in its scope. It touches on those areas where attempts, whether successful or not, have been made to adapt existing law to the cyber world. It also deals with many of the problems which are largely a creation of that world such as cyber bullying and trolling. The careful analysis conducted in respect of all of these areas perhaps demonstrates, at the big picture level, the problems with which we are all confronted in handling the new normal."
Judge Frank Clarke, Supreme Court, Republic of Ireland, Foreword to Cyber Law and Employment.
