An important campaign by the Miscarriage Association to seek to add miscarriage loss to bereavement leave entitlements in the Employment Rights Bill.
It's an amendment that makes absolute sense and one I strongly support.

Today, we’re making a stand and launching our Leave for Every Loss campaign, so that women and their partners who experience a pre-24 week pregnancy loss have the legal right to take bereavement leave from work.

I shudder at the prospect of a Shadow Justice Secretary who wants to leave the ECHR and to tear up the Equality Act.

A good #Budget2024 in plenty of ways but did I miss the bit about more funding for justice?

CA to hand down judg't this morning in ADP RPO v Haycocks on importance of whole workforce consultation to fairness of a redundancy when collective consultation under s188 NOT triggered. Is it nevertheless required by "good industrial relations"? #ukemplaw

Excellent episode on Moussa, a case which unfortunately doesn’t appear to have been appealed further.

The case of Institute & Faculty of Actuaries v Davda is about to start in the CA. Link is here: youtube.com/@courtofappeal-c…
My thread on the EAT decision is here: x.com/JasonBraier/status/165…
The appeal may well involve some interesting questions on exact correspondence under s.13.

Also potentially some interesting questions under s.19 re detriment.
I've not seen the grounds of appeal but doubtless all will be revealed imminently.

A belated unashamed #humblebrag (for which I'll happily pay) to thank those whose kind hyperbole convinced both Legal 500 & C&P to promote me a band in this year's directories.
