Franco-British Lawyers Society Evening Conference

11 June 2014

Time: 6:00 - 8:00pm
Venue: Ground Floor Lecture Theatre, Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary University of London, 67-69 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3JB

Whistle blowers: What protection does the law afford? France and England and Wales compared with a view on other jurisdictions.

It is now over 110 years since the Dreyfus affair burst into the open in France and divided French Society. At its heart was Colonel Picquart whose decision to reveal the conviction of the wrong man nearly cost him his life. Today the issue remains highly topical, from government surveillance of citizens to the exposure of abuses in the National Health Service. The talks by the speakers will be followed by a discussion.

This event will be followed by a drinks reception.
