- Discussion of key cases including Darnley v Croydon Health Services NHS Trust (2018) and Robinson v Chief Constable of the West Yorkshire Police (2018) where the Supreme Court reassesses the Caparo tests for negligence liability; and Vantaan kaupunki v Skanska Industrial Solutions Oy, NCC Industry Oy, Asfaltmix Oy (2019), where the Court of Justice of the European Union provides potentially significant changes to the notion of separate legal personality in company law
- Updates on the new legislation to pass in 2019/20 on the protections afforded to workers, including further rights for individuals at work provided in the Employment Rights Act 1996 (Itemised Pay Statement) (Amendment) Order 2018 and the Employment Rights (Employment Particulars and Paid Annual Leave) (Amendment) Regulations 2018
