Il Public Interest Disclosure Act alla prova del tempo. Ipotesi di riforma nel diritto inglese per rafforzare la protezione dei whistleblower

Abstract

This paper examines the evolution and impact of the Public Interest Disclosure Act within the framework of English law. It explores the challenges encountered over time and describes reform hypotheses to strengthen whistleblower protection, addressing current shortcomings and gaps in the regulatory system. The analysis draws on comparative perspectives with EU Directive 2019/1937, which could be considered a comprehensive and detailed model also for English legislation. Given that 25 years have passed since the enactment of PIDA, reform measures are needed to enhance the effectiveness and security of whistleblowing in the United Kingdom
