However, in Notaro Homes Ltd v Keirle and others, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has confirmed that a Tribunal is not actually required to reduce the compensatory award in these circumstances.\r\n\r\nIn this case, several employees of a nursing home provider were dismissed for making social media posts that breached the company’s social media policy. The Employment Tribunal found that this was a pretext and that the real reason for their dismissal was that they had made protected disclosures. At the remedy hearing, the Tribunal therefore decided that it was not just and equitable to reduce the basic and compensatory awards on grounds of contributory fault. Although the employees had committed blameworthy conduct by breaching Notaro’s social media policy, in reality the company had seized on that opportunity to dismiss them because they had blown the whistle.\r\n\r\nNotaro appealed on the basis that if there was a finding of contributory fault, then the Tribunal was legally obliged to reduce the compensatory award. The EAT dismissed this argument. Although contributory fault will normally lead to a reduction, the wording of the ERA does not require a Tribunal to do so where it is not just and equitable. Given the circumstances in this case, where the dismissing officer had also accepted that the employees’ conduct did not amount to gross misconduct, it had been open to the Tribunal to decide not to reduce the compensatory award.\r\n\r\nThis case highlights that Tribunals have a wide discretion as to whether to reduce an award of compensation. The employees’ conduct in this case only led to or contributed to their dismissal by providing their employer with a pretext, so it was just and equitable that their compensation should not be reduced. The contributory fault itself could not be said to have caused the dismissal. However, it will only be in rare cases that no reduction is made where there has been a finding of contributory fault.');

After a re-tendering exercise, LUB lost the contract for this route to Abellio London Ltd. TUPE applied to the transfer of this contract, meaning that Mr De Marchi’s employment would transfer to Abellio. However, he objected to being transferred because it would involve working out of a different garage over an hour away from his home. His request for redundancy was rejected by LUB because his role still existed, and he was offered three options:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li data-indent=\"1\">Transfer to Abellio under TUPE and move to the new garage, with a significantly longer commute.</li>\r\n 	<li data-indent=\"1\">Object to the transfer and sign a new contract with LUB on amended terms, including a longer maximum duty time.</li>\r\n 	<li data-indent=\"1\">Resign.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMr De Marchi did not agree to the amended terms and continued to object to the transfer. Eventually his employment ended. However, there was confusion between LUB and Abellio about his employment status after the transfer, whether he had resigned, been dismissed, or transferred, and who was liable for the termination costs. Mr De Marchi brought unfair dismissal and TUPE-related claims against both companies in the Employment Tribunal.\r\n\r\nA preliminary hearing was held to establish how Mr De Marchi’s employment had ended and whether LUB or Abellio was liable for the termination costs, including any unfair dismissal compensation.\r\n\r\nThe Employment Tribunal held that Mr De Marchi had been dismissed by LUB, which was therefore liable for all termination costs. Appeals by LUB and Mr De Marchi were rejected by the EAT, which has provided useful clarification of how TUPE applies in Mr De Marchi’s situation:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li data-indent=\"1\">Where a transfer involves a substantial and materially detrimental change, the employee may choose to treat their contract as having been terminated. This would be a deemed dismissal by the employer, which could be the transferor or the transferee, depending on the timing (Regulation 4(9)). If the employee chooses not to exercise this right, they will transfer, unless they object to the transfer under Regulation 4(7).</li>\r\n 	<li data-indent=\"1\">Where an employee objects to being transferred because it would involve a substantial change in working conditions to their material detriment, the objection prevents their contract from transferring to the transferee (Regulation 4(7)).</li>\r\n 	<li data-indent=\"1\">In these circumstances, the employee’s contract of employment is automatically terminated, and the employee is treated as having been dismissed by the transferor, even though no actual dismissal has occurred (Regulation 4(8)). Any remedy will therefore lie solely against the transferor.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIn this case, the EAT held that Mr De Marchi’s objection to the transfer was reasonable given that the potential change in his working conditions was substantial and detrimental. Accordingly, his employment did not transfer to Abellio, and he was treated as having been dismissed by LUB. All termination costs and any compensation payable as a result of his Tribunal claims would therefore be payable by LUB.\r\n\r\nThe EAT’s judgement provides helpful clarification of the effect of an employee’s objection under TUPE where the transfer involves a substantial change in working conditions to their material detriment. An employee who objects in these circumstances does not need to communicate unequivocally that they are treating their contract as terminated. Under TUPE, the act of objecting will terminate the contract, and they will be treated as having been dismissed by the transferor, who will be liable for all dismissal costs. As this case illustrates, this means that even if the transferee is responsible for the substantial and detrimental changes, the transferor is still liable for all costs resulting from an employee’s objection, and the employee has no remedy against the transferee. This situation can be addressed by means of appropriate warranties and indemnities in the commercial agreements, depending on the relative bargaining positions of the parties.');

On the other hand, section 111A only applies to pre-termination negotiations relating to ordinary unfair dismissal. This means that negotiations in the latter scenario would 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 the employee 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 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, the parties would sign a settlement agreement, but that if he rejected it, the company would go through a redundancy procedure with him. He was given 48 hours to consider this proposal in principle. A further meeting was then held with him 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, 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.');

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. It also agreed that postponement would impact the employer’s right to a fair trial within a reasonable period of time since it was nearly four years since her employment had ended.\r\n\r\nThe EAT also rejected Ms Kaler’s appeal against the dismissal of her claims. Her conduct did not arise in consequence of her ASD, and even if it had, dismissal was justified and proportionate given the serious content of her emails, their wide circulation, the impact on her colleagues and her refusal to stop sending them.\r\n\r\nIt is difficult to overturn decisions on postponement since they can only be challenged on perversity grounds. Assessing an application for postponement is a delicate balancing exercise. Tribunals will have to weigh up fairness to all parties, taking into account the need to avoid undue delay and prejudice to either party’s case. If the postponement is on medical grounds, including mental illness, expert evidence must be submitted promptly, explaining the diagnosis, prognosis and precisely why the party is unfit to attend. However, as this case illustrates, even where a party produces clear medical evidence that they are not fit enough to participate in a scheduled hearing, they are not automatically entitled to a postponement, as Tribunals are not obliged to defer uncritically to the clinician’s view.');

INSERT INTO `Z1EZp7_postmeta` VALUES (25367,1770,'insight_modules_0_text_general','In Thandi and others v Next Retail Ltd, the Employment Tribunal has ruled that retail staff based in Next stores must be paid the same basic pay as its warehouse staff. It has been reported that the value of these claims may exceed £30 million. This is one of several ongoing multiple equal pay claims against national retailers, including Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Tesco.\r\n\r\nUnder the Equality Act 2010, employees are entitled to receive the same pay and contractual terms as comparators of the opposite sex who perform the same work, work of equal value, or work that has been formally rated as equivalent. Employers may have a defence to an equal pay claim if they can show that the difference in pay is due to a material factor that is not discriminatory (known as the \'material factor defence\'). However, a material factor that is indirectly discriminatory may still be justified if the employer can show that it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.\r\n\r\nA group of 3,540 female shop-floor employees brought an equal pay claim arguing that Next was in breach of the Equality Act by paying them less than warehouse staff, who were predominantly male. Their claims related not only to basic pay but also to other regular and one-off payments including Sunday premiums, attendance and retention bonuses, and long-service awards.\r\n\r\nIn the first stage of the case, the Employment Tribunal held in June 2023 that the claimants were performing work of equal value to the warehouse staff. A further Tribunal hearing took place in May 2024 to establish whether Next could show that a material factor defence applied.\r\n\r\nNext argued that the pay differentials could be explained by a range of material factors including market forces, recruitment and retention difficulties, and the overall performance and productivity of the Next Group.\r\n\r\nThe Tribunal held that these material factors involved indirect discrimination. Sales staff were 77.5% female, and warehouse staff were 52.78% male. Paying sales staff a lower basic pay therefore had a disproportionate effect on women, particularly given that Next benchmarked warehouse pay against the predominantly male market for warehouse staff.\r\n\r\nThe next step for the Tribunal was to consider whether Next’s pay practices could be justified as a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. The Tribunal found that Next could have afforded to pay sales staff more, but chose instead to cut costs in order to maximise profitability. Since case law has established that differences in pay cannot be justified by costs alone, the Tribunal held that the lower basic pay could not be objectively justified. The Tribunal also rejected Next’s argument that it had to set pay according to market forces. As the Tribunal noted, market forces may themselves be based on historic discriminatory views on the value of \'male\' and \'female\' work. Allowing market forces to be used as a defence to an equal pay claim could therefore defeat the purpose of the legislation and perpetuate indirectly discriminatory practices. Similar reasoning applied to six other payments which were set at a lower rate for retail staff, including Sunday and night premiums, paid rest breaks, and long service awards.\r\n\r\nHowever, Next’s defence succeeded in relation to other higher payments and premiums paid solely to warehouse staff. The Tribunal held that these payments could be objectively justified because they related to specific difficulties in recruitment and retention that did not apply to sales staff. For example, an attendance bonus paid at one warehouse was justified because its purpose was to stop workers leaving to join a nearby competitor. Similarly, Next could justifiably pay some warehouse staff triple pay on public holidays (rather than the time and a half paid to sales staff) because it was difficult to find warehouse staff to cover public holidays.\r\n\r\nThis is an Employment Tribunal decision and so does not set a binding precedent, but Next has already confirmed that it is lodging an appeal in the EAT. Employers should note that differences in pay cannot be justified solely by cost or profitability, and that Tribunals will scrutinise carefully any argument that relies on paying market rates. However, it may be easier to show objective justification for targeted and one-off payments in response to market pressures such as temporary recruitment or retention difficulties.');

INSERT INTO `Z1EZp7_postmeta` VALUES (25387,1771,'insight_modules_1_text_general','The Employment Rights Act 1996 gives workers the right to claim unlawful deductions from wages, which includes failure to pay holiday pay. Due to a series of cases that led to concerns about the potential for large, backdated holiday pay claims, the Deduction from Wages (Limitation) Regulations were introduced in 2014 to limit claims to deductions made within a two-year period dating back from the claim (known as the two-year backstop). The Regulations were introduced under powers in the European Communities Act 1972 and were drafted to apply to all deductions from wages claims, not just EU-derived holiday pay claims.\r\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The history of the issues in this case goes back to 2017, when the Employment Tribunal ruled that three Addison Lee drivers were workers and therefore entitled to holiday pay and national minimum wage. Addison Lee’s appeal against this decision failed because the Supreme Court had in the meantime ruled in favour of Uber drivers in similar claims<strong>. </strong>In February 2024, an out-of-court settlement was reached with those three drivers. However, around 700 drivers then brought claims arguing that they too were workers since they worked under essentially the same business model and working arrangements as the original three drivers. Addison Lee defended these claims on the basis that the 2017 judgement did not apply to those drivers and that, in any event, it had made changes to take account of that judgement.</p>\r\nThe Employment Tribunal has now ruled that the drivers were engaged as workers. All passenger drivers, courier drivers, and executive drivers were held to be workers during the whole time that they were logged on to Addison Lee’s operating system. Owner drivers were held to be workers from the time they accepted work to the time the work ended, on the basis that they could also accept jobs on other platforms such as Uber and Bolt. Although Addison Lee had made changes since the 2017 judgement, the Tribunal found that those changes were minimal and did not affect worker status.\r\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">In a ruling of potentially much wider significance, the Tribunal also held that the drivers’ claims for holiday pay and national minimum wage could go back more than two years. In the Tribunal’s view, the Deduction from Wages (Limitation) Regulations were ultra vires and therefore unlawful. The purpose of the Regulations was to limit the burden on employers of backdated holiday pay claims. However, they applied not just to EU-derived holiday pay but to all unlawful deductions from wages claims. The Tribunal held that a change of such fundamental importance should have been implemented by means of primary legislation, not through regulations.</p>\r\nIf unlimited holiday pay and national minimum wage compensation are payable in this case, the total amount payable by Addison Lee would be substantial. Employment Tribunal judgements are not binding on other Tribunals and this judgement is very likely to be appealed, potentially affecting other holiday pay and deductions claims that have been limited by the two-year backstop. However, if the Government is concerned that the higher courts will follow the reasoning in this case, primary legislation may be introduced to ensure that the backstop is legally binding.');

A dealer prevented from advertising horses on well-known websites or apps, for example, may lose a significant portion of their advertising reach which could seriously affect their ability to continue trading. Equally, a warning placed on the dealer’s own website would alert potential buyers to look elsewhere. In the context of horses as ‘goods’ (in the eyes of the law), the power to require traders to take remedial steps could extend to obliging dealers to accept the return of a mis-sold horse and provide a refund.\r\n\r\nLet’s not forget that there are good dealers out there who are also negatively affected by the actions of the dishonest ones. Today’s buyers are (sadly but quite rightly) mistrusting of horse dealers, making life much more difficult for those who are conducting genuine and honest business. Hopefully, the CMA’s new enforcement powers will benefit these essential small businesses, as well as the consumers.\r\n\r\nOf course, there is still the risk that a targeted dealer could take steps to avoid sanctions, but the CMAs new powers certainly seem like a step in the right direction, and it will be interesting to see whether they bring about much needed change.');

This protection may be lost if employees manifest their beliefs inappropriately and in a way that adversely impacts the rights of others. In the recent case of Orwin v East Riding of Yorkshire Council, an Employment Tribunal held that there was no philosophical belief discrimination where an employee was dismissed for using deliberately provocative pronouns in his email signature because he disagreed with gender self-identification.\r\n\r\nThe Chief Executive of East Riding of Yorkshire Council emailed all employees inviting them to consider adding pronouns to their email signature if they chose to do so, stating that she was keen to ensure all staff knew they would be supported in their choice. She also attached links to the Council’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy and to further information on ‘Why you may choose to use pronouns.’ Mr Orwin has strong gender-critical beliefs and disagrees with gender self-identification. He objected to the new policy, arguing that including pronouns in an email signature was ‘a political gesture designed to intimidate anyone who does not embrace the contested ideology of gender identity.’ In protest at the Council’s policy, Mr Orwin therefore changed his own email footer to state ‘XYChromosomeGuy/AdultHumanMale.’ Following attempts to reach a resolution, he was dismissed for failure to comply with management instructions to remove the footer.\r\n\r\nMr Orwin brought claims of direct discrimination on grounds of philosophical belief, unfair dismissal, and wrongful dismissal. All these claims have been dismissed by the Employment Tribunal.\r\n\r\nThe Tribunal accepted that Mr Orwin’s gender-critical beliefs satisfied each of the Grainger criteria and therefore amounted to a protected belief. However, it ruled that Mr Orwin had not been dismissed because of those beliefs, but because of the unacceptable way he had manifested them. The wording of his email signature was a deliberately provocative act of protest to try to persuade the Council to change its policy and did not have a sufficiently close and direct link to his beliefs. The Tribunal also took into account the risk of reputational damage to the Council, the impact on its service users, and its attempts to engage with Mr Orwin to reach a mutually acceptable solution. It was clear in this case that Mr Orwin’s actions also amounted to gross misconduct.\r\n\r\nThis case illustrates that employees whose actions are motivated or influenced by their philosophical or religious belief may not be protected under discrimination law if they manifest their belief inappropriately. For the act to be protected, there must be a close causal link between the employee’s act and the belief. The Tribunal in this case was also critical of the way the Council had implemented its own policy, highlighting the importance of ensuring that equality, diversity, and inclusion policies are properly and consistently communicated and enforced.');

Private Members’ Bills do not usually become law, but often stimulate debate and exert influence on key issues. The Bill would require public authorities to complete an algorithmic impact assessment prior to implementing any new system. This would have to set out relative benefits and risks of the system; the steps being taken to minimise risks; an independent external scrutiny of efficacy and accuracy; and a bias assessment to ensure compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998. Public authorities would also be required to complete an algorithmic transparency record providing a detailed explanation of the system, including technical specifications; how it is being used in practice to inform administrative decisions; and how human oversight will work in practice. All AI systems used by a public authority would have to be capable of scrutiny and a public register would have to be kept of decisions made. The Bill would also require the government to establish an independent dispute resolution service for challenging and providing redress for decisions made by AI systems.');

First, an <a href=\"https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6752d28020bcf083762a6c99/Recovered_appeal_decision_-_Court_Lane_Industrial_Estate_Court_Lane_Iver_SL0_9HL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appeal</a> where the Inspector and Secretary of State agreed that the proposal for a data centre in Slough would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt. This meant that there was a conflict with the local plan meaning some other material consideration would have to override that conflict, and for the purposes of the NPPF, ‘very special circumstances’ would need to be found. And, bam, they were indeed found: importantly the need for data centres to come forward was a substantial part of that finding (see paragraphs 271 and 272).\r\n\r\nThat is a welcome and stark departure from some of the more recent refusals from last year (see <a href=\"https://www.bdbpitmans.com/news-and-insights/1019-new-environmental-duty-and-no-new-data-centres/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here</a>) for a proposal in which very special circumstances were not made out by the need for data centres. Interestingly in the more recent decision, there is also an affirmation that legal costs borne by the council in connection with the development (see paragraphs 252-5 of the Inspector’s Report) should not be paid by the developer. This is an interesting contrast to much of the recent discourse on ensuring cost recovery, and is also to be encouraged.\r\n\r\nThe <a href=\"https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/674f0bed7cbc7f3d295da963/Land_adjacent_to_HMP_Garth_and_Wymott__Layland__Lancashire__refs_3295556___3_December_2024_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">second appeal decision</a> that caught my eye was the Secretary of State overruling an Inspector’s recommendation that a new prison in Lancashire should not be granted planning permission. The key issues in this appeal related to highway traffic and safety impacts. In all the cases, the Secretary of State finds limited harm reinforcing the point that highway impacts have to be really, really bad on an overall scale before they are a basis for refusing planning permission. In this case too, the need for the development (ie, prisons which are nearing 98% capacity nationally) carried the day.');

INSERT INTO `Z1EZp7_postmeta` VALUES (26275,1797,'insight_modules_0_text_general','The market for perfume ‘dupes’ has grown significantly and globally in recent years as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, commonly referred to as GCMS, has helped open the once secret and exclusive world of scent creation.\r\n\r\nAs GCMS can accurately break down the complex chemical profiles of a perfume, formulators are now able to replicate the same combination of ingredients within a perfume in different proportions which has facilitated the rise of the dupe. While GCMS is not yet advanced enough to pick up on all of the intricacies of a scent, for example, the exact proportion and blending of a scent’s notes and accords, it is creating a booming dupes industry, to the frustration of perfumers around the world (especially when a brand can market a dupe on the basis of such dupe being specifically inspired by a named fragrance).\r\n\r\nDupe scents have become popular as many original scents, it may be argued, are increasingly unaffordable. Dupe producers may argue that they are merely disrupting an unaffordable market by innovating.\r\n\r\nThe vast majority of consumers have historically owned and worn a signature scent, the same scent for every day and occasion, but in recent years, especially amongst later generations, there has been a marked shift towards having a fragrance wardrobe. Many consumers now regard perfume as a way to find their identity and evoke different feelings and moods – they want to explore. Dupes, on the basis of their affordability, are facilitating this exploration.\r\n\r\nAs in most (but not necessarily all) cases, with affordability comes issues. Quality and longevity may be compromised which is usually an important consideration for a purchaser. Additionally, supply chain issues arise, particularly concerning the sustainability of those supply chains and the protection of workers’ rights within them.\r\n\r\nIt’s important to note that affordability isn’t the only factor driving the rise of dupes. A lack of regulation in the industry has also played a significant role. For example, brands can label their product as an Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum without meeting specific standards—there’s no required amount of fragrance oil for these classifications. According to British perfume designer Azzi Glasser, what’s truly lacking in today’s fragrance industry is the art, performance, and originality that once defined it. This absence, she argues, is helping to fuel the growth of dupes.\r\n\r\nDespite the above, dupe scents are, arguably, here to stay and as a result, in order to retain authenticity, Founder and CEO of Olfactive O, Olivia Da Costa, believes that the key is for fragrance founders to work hard at their story and to convince consumers that they’re investing in the totality of the brand, not just the scent.');

INSERT INTO `Z1EZp7_postmeta` VALUES (26283,1797,'insight_modules_2_text_general','Perfumers will look to protect the branding of their scents by registering their name or logo as a trade mark. This route will prevent other scent manufacturers from using identical or confusingly similar names, however this will not address the fact that a dupe may be almost identical in smell to the real thing. Perfumers may seek further protection by registering a non-traditional trade mark. The most relevant non-traditional trade marks for perfumers will be smell, bottle shape (as successfully achieved by Coca-Cola with its iconic bottle), and colour use.\r\n\r\nThere are substantial hurdles to overcome if a perfumer is to successfully register a non-traditional trade mark. Trade mark registries will need to be satisfied that the mark in question is clear, precise, self-contained, easily accessible, intelligible, durable, and objective. These criteria pose substantial difficulties when it comes to registering smells – as smell cannot be graphically represented and a sample will not be sufficient. Whilst it is not impossible per se to register a scent as a trade mark, the fact Chanel was unable to register its famous N°5 fragrance suggests this may be unattainable in practice. It is noteworthy that one of the key objections raised by registries is that the mark, for which protection is sought, should not stem from the nature of the product in itself. This poses a particular hurdle to perfumers who, arguably, only sell scent for its olfactory qualities.\r\n\r\nWithout trade mark protection a perfumer could in theory look to the law of passing off to bring a claim against dupes. A perfumer would need to show there was a misrepresentation by the dupe, that the perfumer has goodwill / reputation in the smell and that the misrepresentation has damaged the perfumer. Passing off has not been successfully argued in the courts in respect of a perfume scent, in a 2006 case the High Court rejected L’Oréal’s claim that the smell of a perfume formed part of the ‘goodwill’ in a particular perfume brand.\r\n\r\nMany dupe scents state to be ‘inspired by’ a particular perfume. This may seem like a flagrant abuse for brand owners, but this will not amount to trade mark infringement as the dupes are not representing to consumers that they are producing the actual perfume in question. The producers of dupes do however walk a fine line. If it can be shown that the dupe is portraying to sell the scent in question or uses the brand logo and / or a similar shape bottle, a brand owner should look to enforce their trade mark and / or rely on the law of passing off.\r\n\r\nGiven the level of investment that is required to create and market perfumes, there is merit in the argument that dupes should not be able to ride off the coat tails of perfumers. A re-examination of the trade registration criteria by legislators would be timely and perhaps the only means for perfumers to attain better protection for their brands.\r\n\r\nArticle drafted with collaboration and thanks to Dennis Lee and Tancred Campbell, BDB Pitmans.');

The most significant change is a new power authorising the Senior President of Tribunals to allow legal officers to carry out specified judicial functions in Employment Tribunals. A Practice Statement was issued by the Senior President of Tribunals, also on 6 January 2025, setting out the relevant functions that may now be carried out by legal officers under the supervision of an employment judge and in accordance with any applicable Presidential Guidance. These include shortening or extending time limits, giving directions on service of claim forms, certain hearing postponements, case management orders, and orders for preliminary hearings. Within 14 days from the date on which the Tribunal sends notice of a decision made by a legal officer to a party in the proceedings, that party may apply for the decision to be considered afresh by a judge.');

The Guidance takes effect from 27 January 2025. As acknowledged by the President, for many years oral evidence has been heard remotely in Employment Tribunals without proper consideration of whether appropriate permission was in place from the relevant foreign state. The Guidance states that this position is no longer sustainable since it risks damaging the UK’s diplomatic relations with other states and is therefore contrary to the public interest. As a general principle, parties must now demonstrate that there is no legal or diplomatic barrier to the Tribunal taking oral evidence from within the relevant foreign state. Some states have already given permission for oral evidence to be taken from individuals in their territory, and this can be checked on the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office website. Where a state’s permission has not been given, it must be obtained by contacting the relevant authorities. In all cases, the Tribunal must also be satisfied that allowing oral evidence from abroad is in the interests of justice and consistent with the overriding objective to deal with cases fairly and justly, including through avoiding delay and saving expense.</p>');

The report cites data estimating that more than one in five pregnancies end before 24 weeks, as well as clear evidence that the impacts of loss both pre and post 24 weeks are felt as bereavements. Although the Committee acknowledges that an increasing number of employers have pregnancy loss policies which include paid leave for women and their partners, the report highlights the case for a minimum legislative standard. The Committee’s proposed amendments would give employees who experience a pre-24 week pregnancy loss the same entitlements to leave and pay as are currently available to parents bereaved by the loss of children under 18 and babies after 24 weeks: two weeks leave, paid at the same rate as maternity, paternity and shared parental leave (currently £184.03 per week or 90% of average weekly earnings, whichever is lower). The Committee also proposes that the Government should work with organisations including the CIPD, Acas and the TUC to promote the benefits of pre-24 week pregnancy loss policies. A broad right to one week’s unpaid bereavement leave is currently included in the Employment Rights Bill, but the Government has not yet confirmed whether it intends to support the Committee’s latest proposal.');

It will also consider whether changes are needed to prevent goods from being sold domestically where their global supply chains are linked to forced labour and where responsibility should lie for preventing those products from entering the UK (for example, with government, regulations, business, or consumers). The inquiry will look at whether all companies should be required to manage the risk of forced labour in their supply chains. This will include considering the level of due diligence it is reasonable to expect from companies and public sector buyers before they decide whether to contract with suppliers. The Committee will also evaluate international approaches to these issues to assess whether there are other effective legislative frameworks that would work well in the UK. This inquiry comes against a background of concern that since the enactment of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015, the UK has fallen behind other countries in its response to slavery in supply chains. For example, the EU has already introduced legislation to prevent goods linked to forced labour from being sold in the EU.</p>');

It is not yet clear when this ban will be implemented. Having been passed by the previous Conservative Government, the Act was due to come into force on 1 August 2024 but was paused after the general election as the new Government was concerned that it was too broad and potentially burdensome for higher education institutions. Following a period of consultation and review, the Government has now confirmed that it will proceed with the ban on NDAs that prevent students, staff, or visiting speakers from speaking about their experiences of sexual misconduct, harassment, or bullying. All universities will be required to have robust codes of practice ensuring the protection of free speech, which will be enforced by the Office for Students. The Government has also confirmed that provisions of the Act considered to be disproportionate or unnecessary will be removed or amended. A policy paper setting out further details on the proposed changes will be published in due course.</p>');

The Inquests took place before juries at the London Guildhall in April 2021 and were presided over by the then chief coroner, His Honour Judge Mark Lucraft KC, the recorder of London.\r\n\r\nAs solicitors to the Inquests, Sinéad and Natasha, working alongside the counsel team of Jonathan Hough KC, Aaron Moss, and Jennifer Wright, were responsible for advising the coroner, obtaining evidence, corresponding with Interested Persons and preparing for the hearings.\r\n\r\nOn receiving their Freedom of the City, Sinéad and Natasha said:\r\n\r\n“This is a terrific honour which we are enormously proud to receive. To be part of a ceremony that is over 800 years old is very special and we are grateful to the City of London for its invitation. The Fishmongers’ Hall Inquests were held immediately after the Covid lockdowns, making it very difficult for all of those involved, especially those affected by the tragedy, and we wanted to ensure these important proceedings went ahead on time and in a venue which provided the appropriate gravitas to the serious matters being considered. The City of London were incredibly accommodating in permitting the final hearings to take place at London Guildhall. We therefore worked hard to turn the Old Library into a temporary court befitting the occasion.”\r\n\r\nFreedom of the City of London is one of the oldest surviving traditional ceremonies in existence in the UK, dating back to 1237. Historically, Freedom was a right given to Guild or Livery members enabling them to trade in the Square Mile, but since the early 1800s it has been extended to those living, working or with a strong connection to London.\r\n\r\nBroadfield brings considerable experience and expertise in inquests and public inquiries, having recently worked on the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, the London Bridge and Borough Market Inquests, Westminster Bridge Inquests as well as the Tunisia Inquests and Hillsborough inquests.');
