Ian Smith celebrates an anniversary & is proof that quality never goes out of fashion
- The employment lawyers’ mantra: in employment there may simply be no definitive answer.
- If an example is wanted, perhaps TUPE will suffice, where in advising a client you soon run out of law and start looking for a workable answer that is least likely to incur legal liability.
This month’s Brief constitutes something of a personal milestone, as it is my 200th column. To mark this, I thought it might be of interest to look back to the very first column and then at the 100th, to look for areas of development or alternatively continuity in this crazy subject of employment law. One of the problems of looking back is the frequent difficulty of combining a realisation of just how far we have come in a short time (including in this period the internet revolution and its effects on legal matters) with the opposite factor of how many problems and issues remain remarkably immutable.
