Justice Cox DBE recently wrote: “employment law is threatening to drown us all in the sea of case law and legislation, both domestic and European … Employment tribunals too have moved … to the modern sophisticated arena they have become for determining what are often cases involving inordinate factual and legal complexity”. You don’t need to drown in complexity: we can find the best solution.
