Employment Review - September 2009
We consider the very recent decision of the High Court in the Heyday case, being the challenge to the legitimacy of the default retirement age of 65.
We look at the decision of the Rolls-Royce case in the Court of Appeal on the lawfulness of using length of service in a redundancy selection matrix and also an important decision on the application of Regulation 4(9) of TUPE 2006 which allows employees to claim that they have been dismissed where they resign in the face of a substantial change to their working conditions to their material detriment on a TUPE transfer.
Finally, we refer to a couple of recent decisions on an employee’s entitlement to legal representation at internal disciplinary hearings.
