Description
This second edition identifies and analyses the diverse issues involved in employees' disclosures of confidential information when those disclosures are alleged to be in the public interest. The Spycatcher litigation is fully analysed, as are all important recent developments affecting media coverage of leaks and scoops based upon confidential sources. Detailed attention is devoted to recent case law and new legislation on employment law, copyright and official secrecy. There is also an analysis of The National Health Service's Guidance for staff on relations with the public and the media.
