UK: Employment Update - August/September 2015

7 August 2015

Welcome to the summer edition of Employment Update.  Although the summer is traditionally a quiet(er) time of year this has not stopped both the Court of Appeal and the ECJ from handing down significant decisions. This briefing reviews the Court of Appeal's decision on the enforceability of exclusive jurisdiction clauses in share option arrangements and the implications of the ECJ decision for expanding the potential pool of claimants in indirect discrimination claims.  Finally, we look at the proposals to simplify the current tax treatment of termination payments and an EAT decision concerning the right of agency workers to be informed of vacancies.
