In the next segment of the mega-long running (with a long way to go) Tesco v Element equal pay litigation, at para 18 HHJ Tayler sets out a very useful summary of principles relevant to ET decisions about whether to permit expert evidence. #ukemplaw assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67c03e...

You have to hope that as Henry Kelly leaves this world, he doesn't hear the Devil singing "The heat is on, the time is right" but rather reaches the Pearly Gates to see Jeremy Beadle reaching out his hand and inviting Henry up for a laugh. RIP www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Deemed resignation by not replying to a random email would be, erm, problematic under #ukemplaw.

This’ll be great. If there was a love letter to the employment tribunal system, which #ukemplaw practitioner would be top of the list to present it? (Apart from Daniel Barnett, who does enough radio work already)

I've now had a chance to read Higgs. Underhill LJ had to work very hard to find a way to explain what's grown from a throwaway line in para 68 of Page (with an unrealised typo). It seems to me to be an issue begging for Supreme Court clarity, but I struggle to see how this appeal gets there...

Higgs v Farmor's School is out. A victory for the claimant. The CA judgment is mega-long for the CA (181 paras) but you can skip to para 175 for the "broad summary" if you wish (though Underhill LJ stresses it's no substitute for a careful read! www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

Immensely proud of Amy for her work on this (and for her excellent interview on Times Radio this morning). Such important work on one of the key challenges in the modern world.
