Employment Law and Pensions (2nd edition)

We are delighted to announce that the new 2^nd edition of David Pollard’s book: Employment Law and Pensions has just been published by Bloomsbury Professional.

This is the main text on the market that deals with the intersection of UK pension and employment law issues.

In mathematical terms, this is: Pensions law ∩ Employment law.

Since the first edition in 2016, there have been continual changes in the areas dealt with in this book.  New chapters cover:

• disability discrimination and pensions
• the definition of pensionable pay in a pension trust
• Braganza duties on employers
• whether TUPE transfers third party trust obligations
• The impact of Brexit on pensions provision in the UK

The new edition also covers the decisions and appeals in several key cases, including:

• the Supreme Court decisions in:
  • Walker v Innospec (on temporal limitations in discrimination claims);
  • Williams v Swansea University (on disability discrimination); and
  • Times Travel (on economic duress).
• the Court of Appeal decisions in:
  • IBM Holdings v Dalgleish and Bradbury v BBC (on employer duties);
  • USDAW v Tesco (on contractual limitations);
  • Lord Chancellor v McCloud (on justifying age discrimination); and
  • Hughes v PPF (on limits to PPF compensation).

As before, the book is organised into seven distinct parts dealing, after an overview of pensions law in the UK, with pensions aspects of:

• Obligations of employers
• Discrimination
• Employment contracts
• Employer’s powers
• Consultation
• TUPE
• The cessation of employment
