How Harry and Watson forced NGN to admit wrongdoing Why the circumstances show it was NGN wanting to avoid a public trial—and not the costs risk on the claimants—that brought this case to its end

It was Rupert Murdoch’s company wanting to avoid a public trial—and not the costs risk on the claimants, including Prince Harry—that brought this case to its end, writes @davidallengreen.bsky.social.

Congratulations!

Love it (even though I'm not an aged hippy).

Do you think they couldn't decide whether to go with "less" or "fewer", so they went with *more* instead?

• Day-one rights
• “Day one” rights
• D1 rights

or something else? #ukemplaw

I've just created a comparison which shows all the changes made to the EAT Practice Direction, in force from 1 February 2025: draftable.com/compare/RqVB... (changes mainly relate to CE-File but there are other minor tweaks as well).

The Employment Rights Bill – The Right to Guaranteed Hours The right to guaranteed hours is the mechanism the Government has chosen to ‘ban’ zero hours contracts. It takes up 11 densely worded pages in the Employment Rights Bill inserting a new…

So I've had a crack at explaining how the guaranteed hours provisions in Employment Rights Bill work This is how the Government proposes to 'ban' zero hours contracts - but it's far from straightforward. Strap in.
