Whilst @gilescoren 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

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.
Today, we’re making a stand and launching our Leave for Every Loss campaign, so that women and their partners who experience a pre-24 week pregnancy loss have the legal right to take bereavement leave from work.

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'.

I shudder at the prospect of a Shadow Justice Secretary who wants to leave the ECHR and to tear up the Equality Act.
Click here for my thread on yesterday's CA judgment in Haycocks v ADP, looking iat the duty to consult in a redundancy process, whether collective consultation is always required, & when consultation is considered to take place at a formative stage. bsky.app/profile/jasonbraier…
A good #Budget2024 in plenty of ways but did I miss the bit about more funding for justice?

CA to hand down judg't this morning in ADP RPO v Haycocks on importance of whole workforce consultation to fairness of a redundancy when collective consultation under s188 NOT triggered. Is it nevertheless required by "good industrial relations"? #ukemplaw
Excellent episode on Moussa, a case which unfortunately doesn’t appear to have been appealed further.

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!
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.

The case of Institute & Faculty of Actuaries v Davda is about to start in the CA. Link is here: youtube.com/@courtofappeal-c…
My thread on the EAT decision is here: xitter.cf/JasonBraier/status/165…
The appeal may well involve some interesting questions on exact correspondence under s.13.
🧵Institute & Faculty of Actuaries v Davda provides a useful vehicle to consider aspects of direct & indirect discrimination, comparators & the instructing etc & aiding provisions of s.111-112 EqA.

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 @FreeRepUnit 5 spaces taken, 5 spaces left.
Have brunch. For charity (the @FreeRepUnit ) Sunday 1st December. Two options. The great British Breakfast OR Bombay St breakfast. Omelette station/ Japanese rice paper eggs. With Herbert Hall British sparkling courtesy of @barclerk. DM if interested. 10 spaces. Donations to FRU.
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.
