Hello!
Welcome to this months update.
Thanks for tuning into the October edition of InView, we have a lot of news to bring you this month. A few things not to miss:
There are a lot of developments 'on the horizon' at the moment, including the ever changing Worker Protection Bill, the Retained EU Law Bill, and AI starting to make judicial decisions, albeit 'minor' ones. We've got the latest updates on all of these in the last section of the update.
We're also covering the long awaited decision in the Agnew case, and an interesting redundancy case involving the NHS, which highlights the difficulties that employers face when seeking to argue that a redundancy payment is not payable because the employee has unreasonably refused suitable alternative employment.
Don't miss our remaining workshops for 2023 too, next up we're focusing on Neurodiversity and the Employment Law framework - something we're increasingly getting enquiries on.
Anyway, over to you, enjoy the update and see you in November.
