As the successor to Smith & Wood's Industrial Law , this work continues its predecessor's reputation for both comprehensive coverage and lucidity of presentation. With a new and improved structure and layout, the ninth edition maps closely onto employment law courses and provides an invaluable resource for students. Individual topics are presented in a logical framework, allowing students to analyse and understand what can initially appear to be an intimidatingly diverse and complex area of the law.

Thoroughly revised and updated and covering all the major developments in the subject since the eighth edition, it includes the standard disciplinary and grievance procedure, the 2006 Transfer of Undertakings, the new TUPE Regulations and age discrimination.

New to this edition:-

• New and improved structure maps closely onto courses in employment law
• Integrates the new standard procedures on discipline and grievance into the overall question of fair procedures, covering the first case law on this important development
• Includes coverage of the 2006 Transfer of Undertakings Regulations as a separate topic
• Provides coverage of the Age Discrimination Regulations within the overall framework of discrimination law

• A new Online Resource Centre providing twice-yearly updates to changes and developments in the law accompanies this book.
