Employment Law
EMPLOYMENT LAW FIRM NEWCASTLE
Politics and law often overlap and there are few more political areas of law than employment law, so it is no coincidence that this area is a very staute rather than Judge made area of law, also influenced by the impact of European laws. Employment law changes frequently, with yet another important reworking of the law forthcomng in the Equality Act.
Ask an employer about employment law and most will say it favours employees. Ask an employee and he or she will probably say it favour employers. In reality, employment law creates difficulties for employers as there are so many technical pitfalls, but most current English law, if and when tested at Tribunal or Court, in fact favours the employer. This is borne out by statistics which show that only about 1 in 3 employees succeed at Tribunal.
