Blackstone's Employment Law Practice 2006 is a tailor-made reference for practitioners advising and representing parties in employment litigation in the employment tribunal or civil courts. Completely self-contained, the book draws together into one portable single volume the relevant legislation, procedural rules, Codes of Practice, and Practice Directions, and offers authoritative in-depth analysis from a team of highly respected practitioners.

Blackstone's Employment Law Practice 2006 provides complete coverage of practice and procedure in the Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal and Central Arbitration Committee, as well as employment issues in the High Court and Court of Appeal. It is fully up to date with the latest developments in law and procedure, and provides expert guidance on the key areas of substantive law - incuding summaries of the leading cases. It also includes specialist coverage of issues that frequently arise at the Tribunal, including calculation of compensation, guidelines for general damages in discrimination cases, guidance on drafting of compromise agreements, conduct of mass claims, and consent orders. Other features of the book include a chapter on taxation of awards by Jonathan Schwarz of 3 Temple Gardens Tax Chambers, an address guide to Tribunals, and a foreword by Sir Michael Burton (President of the EAT).

Designed specifically for the busy tribunal practitioner, the book's clear and accessible page design ensures quick reference and easy access to key information, and its wide range of procedural checklists clarifies complex areas.
