About the book

Labour Law Highlights 2025–2026 marks a significant and eventful period in the development of employment law. This bumper edition charts a dynamic two years, shaped by important appellate decisions and major legislative reform. From the Court of Appeal’s confirmation in Morais v Ryanair that participation in industrial action constitutes trade union activity for the purposes of the blacklisting regulations, to its consideration of the scope of whistleblowing protection in Rice v Wicked Vision, the courts have continued to refine the boundaries of individual and collective rights.

Alongside these developments, the Employment Rights Act 2025 has introduced substantial changes to the statutory framework, the full implications of which will unfold in the years ahead. This edition brings together a detailed analysis of the key cases across unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, employment status and beyond, highlighting both doctrinal shifts and practical consequences for workers and employers alike.

As ever, the Old Square Chambers team provide a comprehensive and insightful guide to the most important judicial developments of the past year, with a special concluding chapter capturing the latest decisions up to publication.
