Overview

"This edition has been updated to take account of recent major legislation, in particular, the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Industrial Tribunals Act 1996. The significant changes made by the Sunday Trading Act and Disability Discrimination Act are covered, as well as amendments to the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations and collective redundancy provisions. The book also includes extensive new case law, especially in the area of discrimination and unfair dismissal. The coverage of European law has been considerably expanded since the third edition. The book continues to be useful both to those studying for law degrees and to students coming to the subject for the first time on business courses. Whilst exploring the practical aspects of labour law, the authors also examine theoretical issues. John Bowers is the author of ""Bowers on Employment Law"". Simon Honeyball is the author of ""Sex, Employment and the Law""."
