Employment Litigation Newsletter - April 2025

In this edition, we shine a spotlight on the launch of the consultation on mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting, which will inform the Equality (Race and Disability) Bill, as well as the new right to statutory neonatal care leave and pay. We also give an update on the progress of the Employment Rights Bill and consider its implications for employment litigation, with a particular focus in this edition on the extended time limits for bringing claims in the employment tribunal and the impact of the new state enforcement powers. We also bring you the latest tribunal statistics and practice developments.

 

Staying updated on new case law is crucial for managing employment litigation strategy. Recent key judgments featured in this edition cover equal pay, the two-year limit on wage claims, religious discrimination, racial harassment liability, and worker status.
