Overview

"The dynamic growth of employment law in recent years has created a potential minefield not only for students but also for experienced practitioners. By highlighting the most common causes of confusion, this book shows the way to an understanding of the subject. The book covers most of the elements found in a typical employment law course and its treatment of exam technique should give students the confidence required to succeed in examinations and coursework. This revised edition incorporates the consolidation of the law and procedure relating to employment protection achieved by the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Industrial Tribunals Act 1996, and a number of recent significant developments in case law. Ann E. Holmes and Richard W. Painter are co-authors of ""Cases and Materials on Employment Law""."
