Description
This is a practical guide, advising solicitors on how to apply the law. It explains how the law and practice of redundancy has been affected by case law over the last few years, in particular Polkey v A.E.Dayton (the importance of procedure in redundancy programmes) and Litster (selection for redundancy prior to transfer of an undertaking). European case law has had a strong impact on British employment law, and therefore details of all the relevant cases decided in European courts have been included. The book also contains precedents and examines changes in statute law, such as the Employment Act 1990.
