From COVID fears in the workplace to claims submitted one day out of time, barrister and lecturer Ian Smith presents another of his always-popular Employment Law Brief, in this week’s NLJ.

Smith covers the latest caselaw, teasing out the most pertinent points and spelling out their practical implications. His latest Brief includes the legal dilemma of whether unfair dismissal provisions protect an employee dismissed for refusing to return to work for fear of COVID-19 infection.

He also covers recent caselaw on just and equitable extension of time limits in discrimination claims and on the admissibility of evidence.
