A belated unashamed #humblebrag (for which I'll happily pay) to thank those whose kind hyperbole convinced both Legal 500 & C&P to promote me a band in this year's directories.

There’s no such thing as a free breakfast, but there is such a thing as a FRU breakfast. Sunday 1st December. Raising funds for Free Representation Unit (FRU) 5 spaces taken, 5 spaces left.

Government launches Employment Rights Bill consultations on application of guaranteed hours contracts to agency workers and measures on collective redundancy consultation and ‘fire and rehire’, trade union legislation and statutory sick pay #ukemplaw gov.uk/search/policy-…

I've put a thread about this very interesting case (especially on incorporation of policy terms into contracts & the normative effect of collective bargaining) over at bsky.app/profile/did:pl… #ukemplaw

Hot off the press:42BR Barristers annual lecture this year is on 28.11.24, looking at menopause, a topic of increasing interest to employment lawyers over the last couple of years since Rooney v Leicester CC & the WEC's Menopause in the Workplace report. 42br.com/latest-news/me…

Should be a really great event and a great panel. Make sure to apply quickly. Look forward to seeing as many #ukemplaw-yers there as possible!

Excellent episode on Moussa, a case which unfortunately doesn’t appear to have been appealed further.

Does America have a version of a Civil Restraint Order?

I shudder at the prospect of a Shadow Justice Secretary who wants to leave the ECHR and to tear up the Equality Act.

A useful intro to menopause & disability on Daniel Barnett's podcast this morning. For a more in-depth look at this crucial topic, come to our 42BR Barristers annual lecture on 28 November. #ukemplaw 42br.com/latest-news/me…

I want to write a profound tweet but all I can think of is: Why, America? WHY?

In case Gregg Wallace needs expert advice on this, there is no exception under the Equality Act allowing sexual harassment of 'middle class women of a certain age'. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

An important campaign by the Miscarriage Association to seek to add miscarriage loss to bereavement leave entitlements in the Employment Rights Bill. It's an amendment that makes absolute sense and one I strongly support.

Great news: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Whilst Giles Coren is a great columnist and restaurant critic, I fear he's a little to learn before he makes it as an employment lawyer. For a start, alas it's currently outside the employment tribunal's powers to sentence a respondent to death. #ukemplaw thetimes.com/comment/column…
