Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is part of the "Legal Practice Course Guides" series which has been revised, expnaded and updated to take account of the many changes in legislation and course structure that have taken place over the last year.;Each guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law and, where appropriate, contains sample precedents and checklists. The books provide a guide to the law, practice and procedure which is at the heart of the course, forming a bridge between the notes, exercises and case studies produced by each institution and the "raw material" found in the practitioner texts.;The text deals with the contractual and statutory issues that arise in the individual employment law setting. It also covers matters of formation and operation of the contract of employment, confidentiality, restraint of trade and transfer of businesses, discrimination, as well as the statutory rights of unfair dismissal and redundancy.;It is designed for use on legal practice courses which take either a private or corporate client bias, and offers a practical and comprehensive guide to the preventative measures that can be taken and the problems most commonly presented to a solicitor. This edition includes new material on industrial tribunal jurisdiction, Sunday trading, part-time workers' rights and developments in the law on transfer of undertakings.
