Furthermore, under the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act (ERRA) 2013 section 17 (The
new ‘public interest’ test) is added for whistle blowing disclosures, amending section 43B of
the Employment Rights Act (ERA) 1996 and therefore now reads as such (new words
underlined):
“(1) In this part a 'qualifying disclosure' means any disclosure of information which, in the
reasonable belief of the worker making the disclosure, is made in the public interest and
tends to show one or more of the following-- [criminal offence, breach of legal obligation,
etc].” (Halliday 2013, p. 2).
The following information is presented with the express intent that it is made in the public
interest, and meets the all criteria set out in section 43B (a-f) of PIDA as well as the ‘public
interest test’, ERRA section 17. Furthermore, in order for the reader to perceive the credence
of my statements, so that (s)he has impetus to research the validity of my statements and not
dismiss it as folly supplied by an internet troll who has nothing better to do than waste
peoples’ time, I will cite the Serious Crime Act 2015 here for the express purpose of
convincing the reader that all statements made in this document and my original document
are indeed FACTUAL! THIS IS NO HOAX. THIS IS NO JOKE. This is simply what is
happening in the world today.
