Welcome to January's edition of the DMH Stallard Employment eBulletin.

This month we profile a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that restricts claims for common law damages arising out of a breach of contractual disciplinary procedures. In other notable cases, we look at whether TUPE applies to companies in administration.

If you have any questions arising from the articles in this eBulletin then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
