Collective redundancies and blacklisting of employees are among the topics covered by Prof Ian Smith in his Employment Law Brief this week for NLJ

The first two cases Smith considers cover a less usual angle, that of the need to inform the government as well as worker representatives and the unlawful keeping of blacklists, respectively. The third covers tribunal procedure. From airline pilot strikes to anonymisation and the right to respect for private life, Smith gives the lowdown on the latest employment case law to date. See pp 7-8.
