Employment Law
By
James A. Holland, Stuart Burnett
Description
The 2007 edition
of Employment Law has been written principally for students taking
the elective module in employment law on the Legal Practice Course,
and is suitable for those courses with either a corporate or private
client bias. It offers a practical and comprehensive guide to the
preventive measures that can be taken and the litigation problems
most commonly presented to solicitors in this area of the law. Case
study questions, as well as exercises, examples and flow diagrams
throughout the book allow students to assess their understanding of
the key issues. Key point summaries at the end of most chapters help
students identify the most important topics covered. Employment Law
has been fully revised and updated to cover all recent UK and
European case law, statutory materials, and developments in practice.
Online Resource Centre This edition also has an Online Resource
Centre with freely accessible updates to statutory law. This allows
the student to be fully informed of new developments within the
subject. The Online Resource Centre can be found at:
