Description
Employment Law is probably the fastest moving area in the law today. The last fifteen years have seen a plethora of legislation, which, some would argue, takes us back to the 1970s. It is a dynamic and changing subject, at the same time complex and technical, and one which students find interesting but difficult. This text steers the student through the complexities in a straight forward but in-depth way. As well as exploring statute and case law, it provides summary points at the end chapters and useful exercises for each area discussed. Important features include the major changes made by the Trade Union Reform and Employment Rights Act 1993 and the effect of cases such as Dekker v VJV Centrum and the latest Marshall decision in the European Court.
