Legal expedients on protection of persons signaling or publicly disclosing information regarding breaches

Abstract

Purpose: The study of the normative text was imposed simultaneously by its wide applicability in the private and public sectors, but also by the complexity of the material, procedural and organizational aspects contained in the law.

Method: The research method is based on the teleological and systematic legal interpretation, but aimed at achieving scientific and practical results of an interdisciplinary nature – in the sciences of management, organizational construction, security and law.

Findings: The studied law introduces rights, obligations, restrictions and prohibitions in relation to the reporting of committed offences, but its most valuable achievement is the protection of persons who give such information to the competent authorities. The legislator approaches too casuistically when creating the normative texts, which with a great deal of confidence can imply difficulties in law enforcement.

Theoretical implications: The theoretical application of the present analysis could be sought in the further development from legal doctrine and judicial practice of the relations of the studied law to other laws that regulate a similar legal matter – to what extent and to what extent they relate to each other as general to special laws and vice versa.

Practical implications: The practical application of the present work will find its place in management, organization of work processes, auditing, security, economy, finance, budgeting, law and many other areas of social activity.

Originality/Value: The value and originality of the analysis can be sought in several dimensions. The first of them is that at the time of writing the article, the researched normative text has not yet entered into force, and at the time of publication of the article it will already be in effect, which means that this work is one of the first in relation to the law, and will support proper law enforcement. The second dimension of value and originality is in the in-depth analysis of most legal provisions of a substantive nature in the law, which illuminates the highly important norms of this regulation. And the last third dimension is that a connection is made with numerous normative acts of legal order, which will strengthen legal certainty with its expected property of systematicity and connectedness.

Future research: The present study prepares the ground for numerous subsequent works not only on the normative text, but also on its application in the private and public sectors, as well as in future judicial practice on it.
