E-Books →The Future of the Employment Contract

Douglas Brodie assesses how employment contract law is likely to develop, paying particular attention to wider developments of the law of obligations such as the recognition of the importance of fair dealing and the significance of relational contracts. Investigating the importance of how courts now regard the employment contract as governing personal relations, the author concludes that key attributes of the contract, including the imbalance of power between employee and employer, are likely to remain the key driver for change.
The Future of the Employment Contract will be an essential read for students and scholars of employment law and the law of obligations. It will also be of benefit to legal practitioners as they look to frame innovative legal arguments.
