Description
The Law of Termination of Employment, now in its sixth edition, is a well-established and authoritative analysis of the rules governing termination of employment. It considers the main causes of action available to employees whose employment is terminated, and presents the law and the relevant issues in a way that will be of real value to those practising in the field. The Law of Termination of Employment provides comprehensive coverage of the applicable statutory and common law regimes, as well as the major procedural considerations. It also deals with problems beyond termination of employment such as competition from ex-employees, and numerous examples of worked redundancy calculations illustrate how the law operates in practice. With over 500 pages of unrivalled guidance on the law of termination of employment, Professor Upex's definitive work is essential reading for all employment lawyers and human resources personnel who require a detailed knowledge of this complicated area of law. Substantially revised and updated, the sixth edition includes: Changes brought about by the Employment Relations Act 1999 and other recent legislation New categories of automatically unfair dismissal Introduction of the right of workers to be accompanied at a grievance or disciplinary hearing, together with a right not to be dismissed for exercising that right Increases in the type of dismissal for which the remedy of interim relief is available Changes to the rules relating to compensation for unfair dismissal Removal of the time limit on the compensatory award in cases of dismissal in health and safety cases and dismissals for whistleblowing Important new cases decided in the European Court of Justice Allen v Amalgamated Construction Co Ltd, Francisco Hernandez Vidal SA v Gomez Perez and Oy Liikennen AB v Liskojorvi and Juntunen on the Acquired Rights Directive Major House of Lords decisions Carmichael v National Power plc on casual workers Murray v Foyle Meats Ltd on the meaning of redundancy Johnson v Unisys Ltd on injury to feelings in wrongful dismissal cases Important Court of Appeal decisions, including Secretary of State for Trade and Industry v Bottrill and Sellars Arenascene Ltd v Connolly on the circumstances in which directors or sole shareholders may be employees Montgomery v Johnson Underwood Ltd on agency workers ECM (Vehicle Delivery Service) Ltd v Cox and ADI (UK) Ltd v Willer in the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations Foley v Post Office on the test of fairness in unfair dismissal cases, following on from the EAT decision in Haddon v van den Bergh Foods Ltd Cerberus Software Ltd v Rowley and other cases involving PILON (pay in lieu of notice) clauses OTHER BOOKS OF INTEREST Disability Discrimination Claims: An Adviser's Handbook Disability Discrimination: Law and Practice
