Publisher's Synopsis
The "Legal Practice Course Guides" have been revised, expanded and updated to take account of the many changes in legislation and course structure that have happened in the last year.;Each guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law and, where appropriate, contains sample precedents, documents and checklists. The books provide a guide to the law, notes, exercises and case studies produced by each institution and the "raw material" found in the practitioner texts.;This guide deals with the contractual and statutory issues that arise in the individual employment law setting. It 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 corporate or private 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 1996/97 edition includes extensive material on the new Disability Discrimination Act 1995, the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Industrial Tribunals Act 1996 as well developments in recent case law and European legislation.
