Cases and Materials on Employment Law is a complete reference resource for students of employment law. Well established as the most regularly updated casebook on the market, it offers a wide range of case law and statutes along with plenty of non-statutory material, providing students with a thorough grounding in the subject.

Expanded notes, questions and diagrams throughout the text help readers to access the materials, understand key concepts, and check their progress and comprehension. These features cement this book's place as the leading cases and materials text on the market - essential reading for anyone serious about studying and understanding employment law at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Customer Reviews

A good point of reference.
This book covers much of the information, required on today's LL.B and LL.M courses. The references to the case law are very good and questions asked at the end of each reference point, draw the reader to the fact that there is more to do than just 'reading' the text. The cases are well summarised and often, it is not always necessary to read the full case, as the relevant points and judgments are all clearly marked. A very well laid out book, with ample commentary, obviously written in a modern context.

Employment Law - Painter & Holmes
I found it an ok ish book. But it does not really hold your hand and take you through it. I preferred the Pitt book on employment.
