Dear Colleague,
Welcome to the Spring edition of the MILS employment law email bulletin.
As the cloud of volcanic ash gradually clears from the horizon, in this bulletin we fly straight through the fog of the election debate, with a summary of the employment law proposals adopted by the three major parties in the forthcoming election.
We also look at the main provisions of the recently passed Equality Act 2010 which will become law later this year, as well as considering two further interesting case law developments; a case on whistle-blowing (BP plc v Elstone) plus a widely reported case supporting (to a limited degree) an employer’s ability to unilaterally change the contract of employment (Bateman v Asda Stores).
More details can be found on the MILS website for those of you interested in developments.
Please note: in this bulletin we aim to keep you up-to-date on some of the latest developments in employment law and although the bulletin is not intended to provide a comprehensive summary of all the changes to the law, we hope to highlight some key areas of change for motor industry employers.
