Optimist Simon Fennell, employment partner at Shoosmiths, searches for employment law positives in the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, in the first part of an article in this week’s NLJ.

Could there be silver linings inside the gathering storm clouds? Nothing’s perfect, after all, including our retained EU employment law.

Fennell sets out a wish list, focusing in this first part of his article on TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment). He writes that ‘those who come across TUPE with any regularity will be well acquainted with its limitations’. He covers TUPE and pension rights, consultation obligations and much more.

See Simon's wish list here.
