Employment Dismissal Deemed Unfair Due to Employers Failure in Conducting a Proper Investigation

Employment dismissal, is it fair or unfair?
Tykocki v Royal Bournemouth & Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust UKEAT/0081/16/JOJ.
Background

A patient complained about the behaviour of a healthcare assistant (the “Claimant”). The employer decided to suspend the Claimant for the period of the investigation and furthermore dismissed the Claimant for gross misconduct.

The Claimant denied the allegation made by the patient and considered that several elements were not investigated and the investigation process was not as efficient as it should be.

Following this the Claimant took legal action alleging her dismissal was unfair however, the Employment Tribunal rejected her claim.
Decision

The Claimant appealed.

The EAT considered that the Employment Tribunal should have taken in consideration the failure in the disciplinary process consisting in the absence of records of the discussion between the patient and the employer collected at the stage of the disciplinary investigation, the lack of opportunity for the Claimant to respond to the allegations, the absence of an investigation relating to allegation of the patient as requested by the Claimant and other elements that the Claimant stressed to demonstrate that her dismissal was unfair because the investigation was biased.

The General Data Protection Regulation Post Brexit

The aftereffects of Brexit on the GDPR

The UK’s decision to leave the European Union leaves the issue of data protection in some uncertainty given that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is expected to come into force in May 2018.

In efforts to dispel this uncertainty, it has been clarified that the GDPR will be effective from the 25th May 2018, until the confirmed Brexit date. The GDPR will supersede the current Data Protection Act from 1998 with the aim of providing more contemporary laws for the digital world and improve and strengthen data protection for EU citizens as well as increase business opportunities.
To recap some key requirements of the GDPR are:

A higher threshold for consent. Consent must now be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous shown by a statement or a clear affirmative action
The mandatory appointment for a Data Protection Officer. This requires the appointment of someone with “expert knowledge” of data protection law to oversee and ensure compliance
Tougher sanctions and fines. For non-compliance; up to 20 million Euros or 4% of annual worldwide turnover.
Obligatory Privacy Impact Assessments. These will show an organization has considered the risks associated with personal data practices.
Data breach notification requirements. Breaches must be notified to the Supervisory Authority within 72 hours. Click here for more details..

Data Protection : Damages for Breach

TLT and Others v The Secretary of State for the Home Department and the Home Office [2016] EWHC 2217 (QB), 24 June 2016 (“TLT”)
Background

The Data Protection Act 1998 (“DPA”) makes provision for regulation of “the processing of information relating to individuals, including the obtaining, holding, use or disclosure of such information.”

Section 13 of the DPA permits a person who suffers “damage” or “distress” by reason of any breach of his/her personal data, to take legal action to obtain compensation for failure to comply with the requirements with DPA.

In TLT (“Claimants”), the Home Office published on its website personal data (including the “name”, “date of birth”, “nationality”, “address”, “immigration case, type and status”) of the Claimants who had made an asylum application to remain in the UK.

The personal data of the Claimants was published in error for 13 days on the Home Office website. The Claimants personal data were accessed on the Home Office’s website on 27 occasions. Subsequently the Home Office notified the Claimants with an explanatory letter of apology about the erroneous disclosure on its website. Click here for more details..

LANDLORD’s BEWARE! COULD YOU BE WITHOLDING CONSENT UNREASONABLY ?

No.1 West India Quay (Residential) Ltd v East Tower Apartments Ltd
Case Summary

In this recent case, East Tower Apartments Ltd (T) holders of long leases of residential apartments with No.1 West Quay Ltd (L) wished to assign apartments. As per the terms of the lease, L’s consent was required, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

L refused consent on 2 of its apartments, which T challenged L’s consent as being unreasonably withheld. Additionally, it was argued that the response time for granting consent to another of its apartments was unreasonably delayed.

In the first instance, the county court found that L had not unreasonably delayed the consent. This was because the T’s request to assign was not sent to L’s registered office. (Although it was sent to another address specifically stated by L).

However, in relation to the matter of unreasonably withholding consent, the county court decided in favor of T.

L appealed the decision and the matter was presented to the High Court. Click here for more details..

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties and Personal Liability

Company Law: BTI 2014 LLC and BAT INDUSTRIES  PLC V SEQUANA SA 2016. 

In the case, dividend payments were made by a subsidiary company to its parent company based on incorrect amounts. It was to the Court to determine whether this was in breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties to the company or were transactions defrauding the creditors. In addition, the decision to reduce the company’s share capital was also challenged.
Reduction of share capital

Section 642 Companies Act 2006 sets out the instances where a solvency statement must be made to support a reduction in capital.

A solvency statement is a statement written by all directors outlining the company’s situation at the time of writing. It includes the following:

That no grounds exist indicating that the company would not be able to pay or discharge its debts and:

Immediately following the statement, the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they are due up to the 12 months following the statement. In the event that a company intends to wind up within the 12 months, the statement will outline that the company will be able to pay or discharge its debts within 12 months of the commencement of winding up.

In forming their opinions, directors must take into account all of the company’s liabilities, including any contingent or prospective liabilities. If they make a solvency statement without reasonable grounds for the opinions expressed, a criminal offense has been committed. This offense is punishable by 12 months’ imprisonment, a fine or both.

Are laptops with pre-installed software “unfair” under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive? The ECJ decides

Are laptops with pre-installed software “unfair” under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive? The ECJ decides… 
Vincent Deroo-Blanquart v Sony Europe Limited, Case C-310/15, 7 September 2016.
The ECJ was asked to consider whether the sale of Sony laptops with software already pre-installed, without enabling the consumers to have the option to be able to purchase the laptop without the software, could be deemed as ‘unfair’ under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC) (UCPD) which is implemented by the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/1277) in the UK.
It was held that the sale of the laptop with the pre-installed software formed a combined offer and the fairness of the commercial practice could be scrutinised under the UCPD.
It must be highlighted however that a combined offer is not automatically unfair, as seen in the case of VTB-VAB NV v Total Belgium NV (C-261/07) and the fairness of each case must be considered on its own merit.
In this instance, in reaching their decision, the ECJ asked the following questions:
-Was the combined offer of laptop and pre-installed software contrary to the requirements of professional diligence?
-The ECJ found that consumers were already made aware that the laptop came equipped with pre-installed software, in addition, there was also strong evidence indicating that the majority of consumers wanted the pre-installed software.
-The retailer had also offered its consumers the option to have a refund for the combined purchase.
The ECJ noted that the consumer was told in advance that the software was pre-installed, there was evidence that a significant proportion of consumers wanted pre-installed software and the retailer had offered to cancel and refund the combined purchase. These factors were likely to satisfy the requirements for honest market practice or good faith in the field of the manufacturing of computer equipment for the general public.

Encrypting Your Office Mobile Devices

Encrypting Your Office Mobile Devices.
The information Commissioners office ICO issued a monetary penalty notice to a private nursing home for breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 (‘DPA’) in August 2016.
In the matter of Whithehead Private Nursing Home Limited it was discovered that the nursing home provided an unencrypted laptop to its staff which the staff member took home.
The laptop contained personal data relating to 46 members of staff and 29 residents of the nursing home, including their date of birth, mental and physical health status and ‘do not resuscitate’ status and was subsequently stolen when a burglary occurred at the home of the staff member.
The nursing home did not have any policies governing the use of encryption and homeworking and did not provide its staff any training for data breaches.
The ICO also found that the nursing home had failed to take proper technical and organisational measures to prevent against the unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss in contravention of the 7th Principles of the Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998 had been breached.

Deed -V- Agreement

Deed -V- Agreement                            
You may have noticed that sometimes contracts are expressed as a Deed, whereas at other times they are expressed as a simple written contract (sometimes referred to as an ‘Agreement’).
What is the Difference?
Parties to an Agreement should remember that consideration must be provided, such as money or goods and services, otherwise the Agreement will not be an enforceable contract. In stark contrast, Deeds do not require consideration and parties may often opt to have a Deed to avoid uncertainties surrounding the adequacy over their consideration.
Furthermore, the limitation period for Deeds and Agreements offer a further distinction and parties should take this into account when deciding which one to enter.
Parties that have entered into an Agreement have 6 years to bring an action for breach of contract which commences from the date that the breached occurred, whereas, parties to a Deed are afforded 12 years. Click here for more details..

How a famous designer lost the right to use her own name. Lessons to be learned.

Millen v Karen Millen Fashions Ltd & Anor [2016] EWHC 2104 (Ch).
The case of Karen Millen, who has recently lost her legal battle to use her own name serves to demonstrate the pitfalls for designers when considering whether or not they should trade under their own name or use an alternate name.
Karen Millen and her then partner Kevin Stanford set up the well-known fashion brand in 1983 using her own name. In 2004 both  sold their shares to Baugur for £95 million. One of the key provisions in the Share Purchase Agreement (‘SPA’) prohibited the use of Karen Millen using her own name in any future business ventures. Ms Millen later sought to overturn the provision for the use of her own name in the US and China for projects in different sectors.
The court had upheld the provision in the SPA. You may well ask “but why”?
The court found that the name had become synonymous with the business; when a buyer purchased such a business, the buyer would also be purchasing all of its goodwill and that included the name. i.e. the name had become part of the goodwill of the business.

Thinking of entering into business as a partnership but don’t have time to get a written agreement in place: think again.

Thinking of entering into business as a partnership but don’t have time to get a written agreement in place: think again.
Partnerships are akin to marriages; when things are going well there are likely to be no complaints – however, when things do not live up to a partner’s expectations, business tensions can arise which can result in ugly and expensive divorce proceedings for the partnership.
Partnerships which are formed without a written agreement are partnerships at will and are governed by the Partnership Act 1890 (Act).
This means they are regulated by the default provisions of the Act and may find themselves being bound by provisions which they had no intention of having. By way of example, under the Partnership Act all partners are entitled to a share of the profits and debts of the partnership equally, irrelevant of the level of contribution a partner has made to the partnership. Partners may also be jointly and severally liable towards third parties in respect of partnership liabilities.
However these points can be addressed in  a bespoke agreement in ways that are specific to the parties needs ; for example if one partner is to receive 30% of the profit share that can be expressly drafted into the partnership agreement. Click here for more details..

Patient Data: A warning for GP practices

The subject access request that cost a GP Practice £40,000.
A subject access request (SAR) is a formal request under the Data Protection Act by an individual to be able to see the information held about them by an organization. An organization receiving such a request has obligations imposed by law to provide the information. However, the data does not always have to be provided and organizations must be careful when assessing any such request.
In the matter of the Regal Chambers Surgery (GP Practice) a husband and wife were divorced acrimoniously. The husband made a SAR to the GP Practice in relation to information about his son asking for details of his son’s medical records. The son’s mother had specifically requested the GP Practice not disclose information to the father about their whereabouts. The GP Practice receiving the request responded promptly and within 4 days provided the son’s medical records which also contained the mothers telephone contact details.
The father obtained the records which were filed in the ongoing legal proceedings. Click here for more details..

Employment Changes to Taxation of Termination Payments

On August 10th 2016[1] the government published its response to the consultation on termination payments held in July 2015. The government has clarified its proposals for reform and has set out draft legislation in respect of which further consultation will take place until 5 October 2016.
The consultations are being held with a view to simplify taxation payments on termination of employment; these have become so complex that they have invited criticism and generated uncertainty. It was announced that the changes would come into effect from April 2018. The consultation confirms that:

•     The distinction between contractual and non-contractual Payments in Lieu of Notice (PILON’s)  will be removed. As of April 2018 all PILON’s will be treated as being earnings which are subject to income tax and employer/employee national insurance contributions.
•     The current threshold of up to £30,000 will remain and the exemption from income tax and employer/employee NIC’s up to threshold figures will be maintained. The government will bring alignment to the rules surrounding income tax and NICs so that employers’ NICs will only be payable on termination payments above the £30,000 threshold.
•     With the exception of injuries amounting to psychiatric medical conditions, tax exemptions for payments for injuries will not include injury to feelings.

It is the government’s aim to have all payments, including PILONs that an employee has received or would have received during the notice period to be treated as general earnings and to be taxable as such.

Defendant still required to file acknowledgement of service despite Claimant’s failure to adequately serve

Rushworth v Harvey [2016] EWHC 1386 (QB)
Background
A dispute had arisen between the parties, where Rushworth alleged that remuneration was due, including reimbursements for flights paid for by Rushworth for work done for Harvey.
Rushworth had served the claim form on Harvey but failed to provide the particulars of claim and response pack. Given Rushworth’s failure to adequately serve, Harvey decided not to acknowledge service.
Rushworth subsequently sent the claim form again, along with the particulars of claim and a form for Harvey to acknowledge service.  However, given that this had now been some months later, Harvey sought to argue that the service was invalid as more than four months had now passed since the claim was issued.
In light of the above, Rushworth sought to obtain a judgement in default and Harvey applied to have the judgement in default set aside
It was therefore up to the High Court to decide as to whether judgement in default should be given or whether it should be aside.

Tenants Beware! Exercising break clauses and providing vacant possession

Riverside Park Ltd v NHS Property Services Ltd (2016)
The High Court was asked to consider whether a tenant had exercised its break clause effectively and given vacant possession of the premises.
Background
On 24th September 2008, Riverside Park Limited (Landlord) had granted a ten-year lease (Lease) of its first floor premises to Wirral Primary Care Trust (Wirral).
The Lease contained a break clause, giving the tenant the right to terminate the lease on the condition that no less than 6 months’ notice was given to the Landlord and that vacant possession was given on or before the break date, being 24th September 2013.
Both parties had also entered into a license for alterations (License) enabling Wirral to carry out works such as installing partitions, kitchen units and an alarm, provided that Wirral complied with certain conditions; these were that they obtained the consent from insurers of the premises and that works were carried out in accordance with certain plans and specifications.

High Court decides that proceedings are to be stayed whilst the FOS investigates.

Templars Estates Ltd and others v National Westminster Bank Plc and Royal Bank of Scotland, 2016
The High Court was asked to decide whether proceedings should be stayed whilst the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) investigated Templar’s complaints.
Background
Allegations were raised by Templar that Natwest had been negligent in the advice they had given. The dispute had in fact been an on-going matter for a considerable period of time to the point that stand-still agreements had been entered into in order to give parties breathing space to investigate claims, resolve matters and avoid litigation.
Despite the matter dragging on for a number of years, a resolution was not reached and a standstill agreement was subsequently not extended. Therefore, in order to avoid the matter being statute-barred and to protect their position, Templar issued proceedings.
Templar thought it best that the matter be referred to the FOS for their decision as it would be more cost-effective than taking the matter to the High Court; they asked that Natwest to agree to a stay in the court proceedings, whilst the FOS investigated.

Following the collapse of Kaupthing, the English Serious Fraud Office (SFO) began investigations into Kaupthing; according to the claimants, the SFO investigation arose out of instigations by a member of the winding up committee, Mr Johansson (the fifth defendant), alleging that the claimants had acted criminally, including providing false valuations.
Although the proceedings were brought against Kaupthing, a settlement agreement was eventually reached and contained wide-ranging releases in favour of Kaupthing.

Scope of Protection for Registered Designs

Magmatic v PMS International [2016] UKSC 12
Background
The Supreme Court was required to considered the scope of protection of the design afforded to Magmatic, manufacturers of “Trunki” the ride-on suitcase.
Magmatic argued infringement of their Community Registered Design by PMS International and their “Kiddee”, and their similar ride-on suitcase.
In the first instance, Magmatic was successful in their claim that the “Kiddee” had in fact infringed the design rights of the “Trunki”. The key issues in consideration of infringement in this matter was the extent to which surface decoration plays in protecting a design and whether the overall impression it creates is different in comparison. It was held that the CRD was only intended to protect the shape and that any surface decoration could be ignored.

Why Intellectual Property Is Important For Businesses

Intellectual property (IP), copyright and trademarks can be a very difficult area for a business to navigate.
Indeed, to a newcomer all the different terms and jargon involved can make it hard to know where to start building an IP portfolio, with the result that a lot of companies simply do not bother.

But that would be a mistake, as intellectual property is absolutely crucial for organizations, and in many ways it is their lifeblood.
Intellectual property is critical for fostering innovation in a company, so failing to make the most of it risks allowing rivals to take advantage.
Ideas simply have to be protected in order for individuals and businesses to get the rewards they deserve for their inventions. Click here for more details..

The Risks And Rewards Of Big Data

If your organization works with big data (almost any public sector agency and private sector agencies which have a database of clients or sales transactions involving personal data will fall into this category) then it’s imperative that the information is managed appropriately. Discover below why robust data systems need to be a corporate priority.

 Benefits of big data

If properly organized, big data can provide valuable business information regarding sales trends, customer behavior and likely outcomes regarding a particular product or service. Advanced real time analytics can maximize the useful intelligence which big data can provide, offering a unique opportunity to respond proactively and swiftly to the constantly evolving consumer landscape.

Compliance risks

Unfortunately inadequate systems can mean that the personal details of the individuals contained in the big data mass can be compromised. To ensure compliance with the law, it’s necessary that customers or clients are aware of how their details will be used and stored, as well as crucial that all reasonable precautions are taken to prevent security breaches. A professional advisory assessment is frequently essential in order to minimize the risk of non-compliance with existing legislation. Click here for more details....

Top Tips for Landlord’s

The landlords right to build vs the tenant’s right of quiet enjoyment.
In Timothy Taylor v Mayfair House Corporation and another [2016] EWHC (Ch) the High Court was required to consider the terms of a lease that gave the express right to the landlord to carry out building works, where the use and enjoyment of the tenant’s premises were materially affected.

The tenant, an operator of an art gallery, had entered a lease with the landlord, which contained clear provisions in the lease allowing the landlord to carry out works.
The landlord was creating apartments above an art gallery. The tenant argued that although the landlord did have the right to create the apartments, the effect of these rights created disturbances in the tenant operating the gallery and in addition the scaffolding erected gave the impression that the gallery was closed.
The High Court’s Decision
The High Court held that the landlord, whilst within his rights to carry out the work, had in fact acted unreasonably. Click here for more details..

The Right to Be Forgotten

The right of the data subject to have his or her data erased is one which every EU citizen already has by virtue of the Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) and one which will only be further strengthened by the enforcement of the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Subjects (being the subjects of the personal data) can instruct Data Controllers’ (the entity that determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data are, or are to be, processed) to remove their data in specified situations.

However, what is the role of entities that do not control the data, but merely provides access to them?
Such entities include online search engines.  In the case of Google Spain SL and Google Inc v Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) and Mario Costeja González, Case C-131/12, Google had refused to remove web links to a newspaper whose web pages had contained a Spanish national’s personal details.

Data Protection: The Privacy Shield

This article will discuss the EU – US data sharing saga negotiations which are currently walking under the banner of the ‘Data Shield’.

This is intended to be new and improved ‘Safe Harbour’ which had been previously invalidated by the European Court of Justice in the case of Schrems (C-362/14).

This politically agreed measure is meant to bolster EU citizen’s data protection rights on US soil, granting similar rights that EU citizens would enjoy in Europe. ‘Similar’ being the contentious issue at the heart of the saga.

The European Data Protection Supervisor (Mr Giovanni Buttarelli) published an Opinion (4/2016) on the 30th May 2016 expressing their concerns and stating the shortcomings of Data Shield agreement. This follows the European Parliament adopting a resolution in early May, calling on the Commission to negotiate a better deal in light of the current deficiencies.

Mr Buttarelli states that there is a need for a long-term, robust and lucid agreement between the EU and the US which reflects the rights-based values found in the Lisbon Treaty, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the US Constitution which is reflected in the Schrems judgment. Whilst he sees this agreement as a step in the right direction, it is not robust enough to stand up to the ECJ’s scrutiny. Click here for more details...

Bribery and Corruption

On the 12th May 2016 David Cameron hosted the anti-corruption summit in London which brought together 40 world leaders and several bodies with the motive of moving forward in tackling global corruption.

Four key announcements of interest were made at the summit:

• David Cameron announced that this Government would introduce a public register of beneficial ownership for any company purchasing property in the UK. Those who already own property would also have to complete the register as well as those wanting a Government contract. This news comes as the UK PSC Register reaches its first month in force, which requires UK companies to produce, keep and maintain a register of people with significant control of that company. This is very interesting and is likely to lead to some surprises following its implementation.
• Such registers are the first of their kind and several countries are expected to follow suit. 40 other jurisdictions have agreed to automatically share their own registers of company ownership which will be accessible to the police.
• The Prime Minister also consulted on reversing the burden of proof where there is suspicion that stolen money is being used to buy property, forcing the accused to prove that the money was accumulated legitimately.
• It was announced that an International Ani-corruption Centre would be established to help police and prosecute the corrupt across borders.
• There was also consultation on extending the criminal offence for failure to prevent economic crimes such as fraud and money laundering.

Data Sharing Data Compliance

Businesses  responsibility in the handling of data is set to swell with the introduction of the new General Data Protection Regulations which are due to come into force in May 2018.

The new Regulations will not only heighten a business’s accountability for their own practices, it will create a new responsibility for the handling of data by those which it shares information with, in the absence of proper contractual provisions.

Guidance from the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) is still thin on the ground with the ’12 Steps to take now’ booklet which is available on their website.

In the guidance it states that the most important starting point is to ensure that you are in compliance with the current framework. If you do so, you will be in the best position to work towards compliance by 2018. Click here for more details..

Contracts Anti-Oral Variation Clauses

An anti-oral variation clause is a part of a contract which specifically states that any amendments or changes to the contract must be done in writing. Strict application of such a clause would provide a great degree of certainty for the parties and avoids disputes between parties without expensive and lengthy litigation.

A potential nightmare for drafters and parties to a contract has been roused following the Court of Appeals judgment in the case of Globe Motors Inc v TRW Lucas Varity Electric Steering Ltd [2016] EWCA Civ 396 (Globe Motors).

The Court found that in the absence of a common law restriction:

‘The parties have freedom to agree whatever terms they choose to undertake, and can do so in a document, by word of mouth, or by conduct. The consequence in this context is that in principle the fact that the parties’ contract contains a clause such as Article 6.3 (which was an anti-oral variation clause) does not prevent them from later making a new contract varying the contract by an oral agreement or by conduct’ Click here for more details..

What is Constructive Dismissal?

The latest in the line of high profile constructive dismissal claims is that of Eva Carneiro. The ex-Chelsea football club doctor was initially pursuing a claim for constructive dismissal (amongst other claims) in an employment tribunal against her former club. Although the claim has now settled, it may have left some people reading the news wondering ‘what on earth is constructive dismissal?’

According to ACAS; ‘constructive dismissal occurs when an employee is forced to leave their job against their will because of their employer’s conduct’. This can occur in such circumstances where an employer;

• Suddenly demotes an employee with no good reason or doesn’t pay them.
• Changes an employee’s working conditions (e.g. Working times).
• Excessively disciplines employees.

How to Share Data Correctly

Any business intending to share data should first consider ICO’s Data Sharing Code of Practice (the Code).

Familiarity with the Code will enable you to start to understand your obligations and restraints with regard to sharing data within the course of your business.

The guidance also provides a checklist which will assist you in the process of deciding whether or not to share data with a third party.

This blog post looks at some of the factors you may wish to consider in deciding to share information.

Systematic Data Sharing

When dealing with systematic data sharing (where you share data on an on-going basis) the checklist states that you should consider the following questions:

• Is the sharing justified?

In doing this you should look at; the potential utility of the sharing of the data, the proportionality of the sharing, the benefits/risks to individuals/society for sharing/not sharing, and whether the objective could be achieved without sharing the data? Click here for more details...

Don’t use Human Rights Laws to Avoid Repossession of Property

Mr and Mrs McDonald had bought a property which had been funded by a mortgage from Capital Homes Ltd. The mortgage terms stated that, among-st other things, the property was not to be let to family members or a tenant in the receipt of benefits.

The short hold tenant, Miss McDonald, was Mr and Mrs McDonald’s daughter and suffered from a mental disorder. The parents had bought this house as a mean to provide their child with suitable accommodation.

Upon becoming aware the breach of these two terms of the mortgage, Capital Homes Ltd exercised their power to appoint receivers under the mortgage who went on to serve notice under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. Click here for more details..

National Living Wage

The National Living Wage has been in place for over a month and has already sparked a great deal of controversy. Introduced on the 1st April 2016, it has raised the hourly wage for workers aged over 25 to £7.20, rising to £9.00 by 2020.

Following its introduction, many big businesses have found themselves coming under fire. The businesses in question have cut working hours, staff benefits (such as a paid lunch and free staff food), bonuses and reduced overtime pay in an attempt to counterbalance the increased cost of labor.

While the media and the public continue to criticize the larger companies for their actions, for many smaller businesses, taking these measures may be unavoidable in the face of increased price and market competition. Click here for more details...

Data Leaks Beware | Nath Solicitors

We can recall he story of Andrew Skelton, a senior internal auditor for Morrison’s who leaked information regarding nearly 100,000 of his fellow staff’s bank details, salaries and National Insurance numbers to several newspapers and data-sharing websites.

The leak has been described as the biggest in British corporate history and Mr Skelton is currently serving an 8-year sentence and has had to pay Morrison’s £170,000 in damages. Contrast this with the £2,000,000 that the breach has cost the supermarket as of July 2015 and the further £2,000,000 that Morrison’s asserts it has spent on protective systems in order to prevent future breaches.

There are also intangible costs to be considered, such as damage to reputation and employee morale.

In November 2015, a Group Litigation Order was granted by the High Court with a cut-off date of the 8th April 2016 for those who wanted to join in to the claim for damages. This was based on the assertion the Morrison’s could have done more to prevent the leak and the potential financial loss it may have caused. It is estimated that over 6,000 current and previous employees have joined the action.
