»Employee protection in the event of accusations by a whistleblower«: This thesis focuses on the legal position of those employees who have been the target of whistleblowing allegations and who have suffered disadvantages as a result. In particular, if the content of a report is false, the question of protection arises. Claims for damages by an affected party against the whistleblower require the affected party to know the identity of the whistleblower, which makes it necessary to assert a claim for information in advance.
