Consultant Engineer in Wales, forced to stand and speak out against all the Net Zero crap planned for the area. He says none of it adds up or makes sense, somebody is clearly going to make a lot of money if this goes ahead

The President of the Employment Tribunals in England & Wales has today launched a series of 18 Explainer Videos by Employment Judges explaining ET procedures & some of the more complex areas of employment law: https://t.co/l0gio59tCW

Breaking news - Unfair dismissal compensatory awards will be UNCAPPED if the UK Gov's latest amendment to the Employment Rights Bill is allowed by the House of Lords (the cap is currently £118,223 or 1 year's gross pay, whichever is lower).

Employers will welcome the latest UK government U-turn abandoning day 1 unfair dismissal rights and, instead, having a 6 month qualifying period.

The word on the street is that though the 1 year cap on the compensatory award for unfair dismissal will be lifted, the other cap will remain (currently £118,223).

So many roads in Britain are flooding on a frequent basis. But before they blame it on cow farts causing climate change, it might helpful if local councils could be arsed to regularly unblock and clean the road drains. That’s what we pay our council tax for, apparently.

… and a partridge in a pear tree!

Wishing you all a good week, wherever you may be! Do get in touch if you have any employment law-related issue.

Somewhat surprised to hear whispers that the Labour government has reopened the Pandora's box of Employment Tribunal fees, which was gently closed in 2017. Apparently, they're thinking of charging £55 to bring an ET claim. Employers may consider this a bit on the low side?!

Fascinating seminar from @BlackstoneChbrs on ‘The impact of AI - Are existing laws enough?’ Really enjoyed hearing from @JeremiasPrassl So much to discuss. So many issues arising from the shift from human decision making to human agency.

Our Managing Partner’s PA has a new dog tag from #TimpsonRisca. Nice & patriotic, isn’t it?

Great to see that @squarespace have finally updated the @X logo from the old #Twitterbird logo! Phew!

Well done to my lovely Josiah for completing day 1 of his RYA 1&2 Powerboating at @CBYCWales today. The instructor was brilliant. Josiah said “He didn’t shout at me or say anything negative to me at all. So nice.” He also said it was the most fun he’s had in ages.

Comedy look from Lottie! I wonder what she’s thinking?! (Either…“Why do people drop do much rubbish on the floor in Rogerstone?” or “I wonder whether he’s going to give me a treat now?”)

Supreme Court has held that 'sex' for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010, means biological sex - a trans woman with a gender recognition certificate is not a woman under that Act but is protected by having the characteristic of gender reassignment
