This module will be used to allow students to study in depth the major issues of topical importance in the Law relating to Contracts of Employment. This area of Law is constantly evolving, with employees' lawyers in particular looking for new ways to further their clients' interests, in relation to both substantive rights under the contract (eg in relation to implied terms), and remedies available to breach by the employer, during employment and on termination. In addition, topical issues arise with some regularity in relation to the very nature of 'employment'. These will be examined in this module from both a theoretical and practical standpoint.
