One of a series of webinars covering the essentials in running and winning employers liability cases in the modern era. Each webinar will focus on the building blocks you need to be successful in these cases.
Since the introduction of s69 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 in order to be successful in a case a claimant has to prove negligence. The duties on an employer rely upon an understanding of the principles of negligence and they do differ significantly from the ordinary principles that apply in cases that do not involve employers. In the era of the gig economy being able to identify employment situations and rely upon those duties can win cases.
After this webinar you will understand how those principles work, how to identify employment situations and how to apply them to win cases.
