This is also a subject where the effect of European Community law has been profound, generating interesting tensions between the UK and the EU, and giving UK law an international flavour. Employment Law also raises a number of moral issues, such as the protection of minorities, as well as the difficulty of balancing legitimate but conflicting interests. The course aims to examine the law relating to individual employment in its social context and to develop analytical, problem-solving and other communication skills. The influence of the law of the European Union and the relationship between individual and collective rights are persuasive themes. Teaching and Assessment Teaching will be by means of lectures and seminars.
