Bad blood, hearsay and a disappearing witness are the juicy components of NLJ’s latest Employment law brief
Ian Smith, barrister and emeritus professor of law at the Norwich Law School, UEA, selects four employment law cases from the dog days of summer, which will be of interest to employment lawyers.
Smith writes: ‘The first is a potentially important reconsideration of the case law on the burden of proof and the drawing of inferences in discrimination cases.
‘This is followed by three quite short cases on aspects of employment tribunal procedure which all make precise but significant points.’
The cases deal with a variety of topics, including discrimination in a local authority setting, case management and equal pay, costs and whether there is a requirement for corroboration of evidence in an employment tribunal.
