In the simplest of terms, a syndicate is where every single member owns a share in the ownership of a horse (no matter how big or small); a racing club is when the club owns (or leases) the horse, and club members are simply that: members of a club who enjoy certain club benefits, which often include a share in any prize money won by club-owned horses.

Consumer law affects the purchasing process as well as the contract, so you’ll need to be sure you’re compliant at every step. Equally, if you’re advertising, you’ll need to ensure you’re complying with the relevant advertising regulations, and don’t forget about influencer marketing / celebrity endorsement guidelines!

Evidence of a protected conversation may also be admitted by a Tribunal if the employer has behaved improperly. Although the ERA does not specify what constitutes improper behaviour, the examples of undue pressure, harassment and victimisation are included in the statutory Acas Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements.

During his two months’ sickness absence, the company found that his role could be covered by the two directors. At his return to work meeting, he was therefore offered an exit package which included an enhanced redundancy payment of £10,000. Mr Gallagher was informed that if he accepted the offer, they would agree a settlement agreement, but that if he rejected it, the company would go through a redundancy procedure.

He did not accept the settlement offer and was dismissed by reason of redundancy.\r\n\r\nMr Gallagher brought an unfair dismissal claim in the Employment Tribunal and tried to rely on the pre-termination discussions as evidence of unfairness. The without prejudice principle did not apply because there was no actual or contemplated legal dispute at the time of those discussions. The company argued that the negotiations were inadmissible under section 111A of the ERA. However, Mr Gallagher claimed that this did not apply because the company had acted improperly by misrepresenting the meeting as a return to work interview; saying that he would be dismissed if he rejected the offer; and putting undue pressure on him to accept the offer within 48 hours.\r\n\r\nAt a preliminary hearing to determine this issue, the Tribunal held that the return to work meeting qualified as a protected conversation and that there had been no undue pressure on Mr Gallagher.\r\n\r\nThe EAT has now dismissed Mr Gallagher’s appeal, confirming that the company’s actions did not amount to improper behaviour for the purposes of section 111A. Although it was not ideal for redundancy to be raised at Mr Gallagher’s return to work meeting, which had clearly shocked him, this did not amount to impropriety. In addition, the 48 hour time limit was reasonable for him to consider the initial proposal.

The EAT also concluded that Mr Gallagher had not been told he would be dismissed if he rejected the offer, only that a redundancy process would commence, including looking at alternative roles.\r\n\r\nThis ruling means that evidence of the fact and content of the pre-termination negotiations will not be admissible at the full hearing of Mr Gallagher’s unfair dismissal claim.\r\n\r\nIn order to avoid the costs and risks of Tribunal proceedings, employers often consider offering a settlement package at an early stage of any process which could end in termination of employment such as redundancy, disciplinary or capability procedures.

The Acas Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements states that a minimum period of ten days should be given to employees to enable them to consider a written settlement agreement. In this case, the employer was able to show that the 48 hour limit only applied to its verbal offer and was reasonable in the circumstances.

During his two months’ sickness absence, the company found that his role could be covered by two directors.

Mr Gallagher was informed that if he accepted the offer, the parties would sign a settlement agreement, but that if he rejected it, the company would go through a redundancy procedure with him.

The ‘without prejudice’ principle did not apply because there was no actual or contemplated legal dispute at the time of those discussions. The company argued, however, that the negotiations were inadmissible under section 111A of the ERA. Mr Gallagher claimed that this did not apply because the company had acted improperly by misrepresenting the meeting as a return-to-work interview, saying that he would be dismissed if he rejected the offer, and putting undue pressure on him to accept the offer within 48 hours.\r\n\r\nAt a preliminary hearing to determine this issue, the Tribunal held that the return to work meeting qualified as a protected conversation and that there had been no undue pressure on Mr Gallagher.\r\n\r\nThe EAT has now dismissed Mr Gallagher’s appeal, confirming that the company’s actions did not amount to improper behaviour for the purposes of section 111A. Although it was not ideal for redundancy to be raised at Mr Gallagher’s return to work meeting, which had clearly shocked him, the EAT confirmed that this did not amount to impropriety. In addition, it noted that the 48-hour time limit was reasonable for him to consider the initial proposal. If he had accepted the redundancy package, he would have been given a further period to consider a written settlement agreement. The EAT also concluded that Mr Gallagher had not been told he would be dismissed if he rejected the offer, only that a redundancy process would commence, including looking at alternative roles.\r\n\r\nThis ruling means that evidence of the fact and content of the pre-termination negotiations will not be admissible at the full, final hearing of Mr Gallagher’s unfair dismissal claim.\r\n\r\nIn order to avoid the costs and risks of tribunal proceedings, employers often consider offering a settlement package at an early stage of any process which could end in termination of employment, such as redundancy, disciplinary or capability procedures. This decision provides welcome clarification that Tribunals are likely to apply a high bar when assessing whether there has been improper behaviour or undue pressure in relation to those settlement negotiations. The Acas Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements states that a minimum period of ten days should be given to employees to enable them to consider a written settlement agreement. In this case, the employer was able to show that the 48-hour limit only applied to its verbal offer and was reasonable in the circumstances. However, it is important to note that each case will be decided on its own facts and circumstances. Employers can minimise the legal risks by conducting negotiations in good faith, ensuring that no improper threats are made as regards dismissal, and allowing sufficient time for employees to consider an offer and take advice.');

The Acas Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements states that a minimum period of ten days should be given to employees to enable them to consider a written settlement agreement. In this case, the employer was able to show that the 48-hour limit only applied to its verbal offer and was reasonable in the circumstances. However, it is important to note that each case will be decided on its own facts and circumstances. Employers can minimise the legal risks by conducting negotiations in good faith, ensuring that no improper threats are made as regards dismissal, and allowing sufficient time for employees to consider an offer and take advice.');

She argued that her conduct arose as a consequence of her disability, Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and brought various Tribunal claims as a litigant-in-person, including a claim for discrimination arising from disability.</p>\r\nMs Kaler’s claim was listed for a five-day remote hearing. She gave evidence during the first three days. Over the intervening weekend, she applied for a postponement of the remainder of the hearing on the basis that she was too unwell to continue. Having initially refused an adjournment, the Tribunal did then adjourn on the next day of the hearing when an ambulance had to be called because Ms Kaler was experiencing a panic attack. However, her further request for a postponement was refused because of insufficient medical evidence, the prejudice caused to the employer and its witnesses by any further delay, and concerns that she could experience similar health issues again. The hearing was concluded in Ms Kaler’s absence, and her claims were dismissed.\r\n\r\nOn appeal, Ms Kaler argued that the Tribunal’s decision to refuse a postponement was perverse. However, the EAT agreed with the Tribunal’s reasoning. Her medical evidence (a GP’s letter) lacked sufficient detail to justify a postponement, and there was nothing to indicate that the pressures of a resumed hearing would not have the same effect on her. The EAT noted that Tribunals are not bound to accept medical opinions without question, particularly where prognosis or recovery is uncertain.

On the other hand, section 111A only applies to pre-termination negotiations relating to ordinary unfair dismissal. This means that negotiations will be admissible in evidence where the subsequent claim relates to an automatically unfair reason for dismissal, discrimination, or breach of contract. Evidence of a protected conversation may also be admitted by a Tribunal if the employer has behaved improperly. Although the ERA does not specify what constitutes improper behaviour, the examples of undue pressure, harassment and victimisation are included in the statutory Acas Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements. The Code states that undue pressure could include failing to give an employee reasonable time to consider a settlement offer or stating before disciplinary proceedings have started that they will be dismissed if they reject a proposal.\r\n\r\nMr Gallagher was employed by McKinnon’s Auto and Tyres Limited as a branch manager. During his two months’ sickness absence, the company found that his role could be covered by the two directors. At his return to work meeting, he was therefore offered an exit package which included an enhanced redundancy payment of £10,000. Mr Gallagher was informed that if he accepted the offer, they would agree to a settlement agreement, but that if he rejected it, the company would go through a redundancy procedure. He was given 48 hours to consider this proposal in principle. A further meeting was then held to discuss his redundancy and the possibility of alternative employment. He did not accept the settlement offer and was dismissed by reason of redundancy.\r\n\r\nMr Gallagher brought an unfair dismissal claim in the Employment Tribunal and tried to rely on the pre-termination discussions as evidence of unfairness. The without prejudice principle did not apply because there was no actual or contemplated legal dispute at the time of those discussions. The company argued that the negotiations were inadmissible under section 111A of the ERA. However, Mr Gallagher claimed that this did not apply because the company had acted improperly by misrepresenting the meeting as a return to work interview, saying that he would be dismissed if he rejected the offer, and putting undue pressure on him to accept the offer within 48 hours.\r\n\r\nAt a preliminary hearing to determine this issue, the Tribunal held that the return to work meeting qualified as a protected conversation and that there had been no undue pressure on Mr Gallagher.\r\n\r\nThe EAT has now dismissed Mr Gallagher’s appeal, confirming that the company’s actions did not amount to improper behaviour for the purposes of section 111A. Although it was not ideal for redundancy to be raised at Mr Gallagher’s return to work meeting, which had clearly shocked him, this did not amount to impropriety. In addition, the 48-hour time limit was reasonable for him to consider the initial proposal. If he had accepted the redundancy package, he would have been given a further period to consider a written settlement agreement. The EAT also concluded that Mr Gallagher had not been told he would be dismissed if he rejected the offer, only that a redundancy process would commence, including looking at alternative roles.\r\n\r\nThis ruling means that evidence of the fact and content of the pre-termination negotiations will not be admissible at the full hearing of Mr Gallagher’s unfair dismissal claim.\r\n\r\nIn order to avoid the costs and risks of tribunal proceedings, employers often consider offering a settlement package at an early stage of any process which could end in termination of employment, such as redundancy, disciplinary or capability procedures. This decision provides welcome clarification that Tribunals are likely to apply a high bar when assessing whether there has been improper behaviour or undue pressure in relation to those settlement negotiations. The Acas Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements states that a minimum period of ten days should be given to employees to enable them to consider a written settlement agreement. In this case, the employer was able to show that the 48-hour limit only applied to its verbal offer and was reasonable in the circumstances. However, it is important to note that each case will be decided on its own facts and circumstances. Employers can minimise the legal risks by conducting negotiations in good faith, ensuring that no improper threats are made as regards dismissal, and allowing sufficient time for employees to consider an offer and take advice.');

Although it was not ideal for redundancy to be raised at Mr Gallagher’s return to work meeting, which had clearly shocked him, this did not amount to impropriety. In addition, the 48-hour time limit was reasonable for him to consider the initial proposal. If he had accepted the redundancy package, he would have been given a further period to consider a written settlement agreement. The EAT also concluded that Mr Gallagher had not been told he would be dismissed if he rejected the offer, only that a redundancy process would commence, including looking at alternative roles.\r\n\r\nThis ruling means that evidence of the fact and content of the pre-termination negotiations will not be admissible at the full hearing of Mr Gallagher’s unfair dismissal claim.\r\n\r\nIn order to avoid the costs and risks of tribunal proceedings, employers often consider offering a settlement package at an early stage of any process which could end in termination of employment, such as redundancy, disciplinary or capability procedures. This decision provides welcome clarification that Tribunals are likely to apply a high bar when assessing whether there has been improper behaviour or undue pressure in relation to those settlement negotiations. The Acas Code of Practice on Settlement Agreements states that a minimum period of ten days should be given to employees to enable them to consider a written settlement agreement. In this case, the employer was able to show that the 48-hour limit only applied to its verbal offer and was reasonable in the circumstances. However, it is important to note that each case will be decided on its own facts and circumstances. Employers can minimise the legal risks by conducting negotiations in good faith, ensuring that no improper threats are made as regards dismissal, and allowing sufficient time for employees to consider an offer and take advice.');
