📢📚New open-access title in the Squire Law Library

Reimagining Employment Dispute Resolution and Enforcement, an important new book by Professor Catherine Barnard, Sarah Fraser Butlin KC and Maayan Menashe (Hart Publishing).
Some claimants currently wait up to five years for a full employment tribunal hearing. The system is broken, so what's the answer?!
Drawing on a survey of 200+ practitioners, the authors set out a bold blueprint for reform, arguing that employment disputes may have more in common with family law than we tend to think.
