It covers matters of formation and operation of the contract of employment confidentiality, restraint of trade and transfer of businesses, discrimination, as well as the statutory rights of unfair dismissal and redundancy. It is designed for use on Legal Practice Courses which take either a corporate or private client bias, and offers a practical and comprehensive guide to the preventative measures that can be taken and the problems most commonly presented to a solicitor.
