This Law applies to any disclosure made after the appointed day, notwithstanding that the conduct to which the disclosure relates may have occurred before the appointed day.
A disclosure of information is not a protected disclosure if it is established beyond a reasonable doubt that the employee making the disclosure committed the offence of stealing in order to obtain such information.
Nothing in this Law authorises an employee to disclose information protected by legal professional privilege and a disclosure of such information is not a protected disclosure for the purposes of this Law.
