Details

This well-established and authoritative analysis of the rules governing termination of employment provides coverage of the statutory and common law rights, as well as procedural considerations. It also deals with problems beyond termination such as competition from ex-employees, and worked calculations of compensation in unfair dismissal cases illustrate how the law operates in practice.

The new edition of The Law of Termination of Employment has been thoroughly updated to take account of major developments in law and practice, including:

The demise of the statutory grievance and disciplinary procedures and their replacement with the ACAS Code
The introduction of Agency Workers Regulations
The new costs regime and relevant case-law
Future developments such as the Government’s consultation on raising/reviving continuity two years qualifying period and Tribunal reform

Throughout the text, recent case-law is analysed, including the definition of employee (Autoclenz and Muschett) and dismissal (Willoughby v CF Capital plc), constructive dismissal (Hunter v Timber Components), and fairness of the dismissal (City of Edinburgh Council v Dickson).

The Law of Termination of Employment is essential reading for all employment lawyers and human resources personnel who require a detailed knowledge of this complicated area of law.

Reviews

"the beauty of this work for the practitioner remains the extensive level of detail contained in what is a reasonably short work with its meticulous footnoting throughout and serious attention to detail with the more recent cases...one of the greatest assets of this new edition is the key case law selected by the authors. Of particular interest will be consideration of the Court of Appeal's decision in Aegon during the current economic situation where the elements of calculation and any pension losses are considered...the book does remain a 'cure-all' statement of law for practitioners and human resource managers whether they are advising employers or employees...it enables such professionals to decide what claims might be available to a dismissed employee, the types of remedy available, and the levels of compensation which can be currently awarded in less than 500 pages, yet with the attention to detail which we need when advising clients just before a hearing"
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

"The Law of Terminaton of Employment is mainly aimed at both legal practitoners and HR managers advising either employers or employees. It enables the knowledgeable reader to determine eventual claims of a dismissed employee as well as possible remedies and levels of compensations likely to be awarded...This authoritative book provides detailed information essential for any professional concerned with termination of employment" German-British Chamber of Indusrty & Commerce
