In our latest (interesting and non-Christmas themed) episode of The Lawdown, Partner Emma Bartlett and Senior Associate, Wonu Sanda discuss the following:

1. The historical case of Justine Blainey, a teenager, who in the 1980s brought a successful sex discrimination claim in the Supreme Court of Canada, to strike out provisions in the Ontario HR Code which prohibited girls from playing sports with boys, arguing that she should be allowed to play ice hockey with the boys. We discuss how this case parallels the challenges people still face with bullying and sex discrimination in the workplace.

2. Benjamin Mendy, a former Manchester City defender is suing for millions of pounds of unauthorised deductions from his wages during the time he was facing criminal charges. We discuss the employer’s obligations and liabilities when dealing with suspended employees facing investigation.

3. Following the Phillip Schofield incident earlier this year, ITV’s investigation into his affair and the organisation’s culture highlights that he did not co-operate with the investigation due to concerns for his mental wellbeing. We discuss the implications of this and what employers can do when dealing with witnesses who may be suffering from mental health challenges.

4. The Tesla whistleblower, Lukasz Krupski, who leaked data regarding Tesla's braking and self-driving software issues to German newspaper, Handelsblatt, after he felt the concerns he raised internally were ignored by Tesla. We discuss the importance of employers enforcing up-to-date whistleblowing policies and what employers should do concerning mental health issues post-whistleblowing.

Luis Rubiales (former president of the Spanish Football Federation) convicted of sexually assaulting Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso during the 2023 Women’s World Cup. We discuss the importance of recognising for the purposes of unlawful harassment in an employment context, what might be “sexual harassment” or harassment “related to sex” and importantly what is “unwanted conduct”.

We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a 4-day week without a reduction in pay, including the potential impact on productivity and possible overworking; flexibility for caring responsibilities; and reducing personal expenditure.

We dive into whether there is any truth to this claim, the considerations for neurodiverse individuals and other diversity needs; and our views on adopting working from home, office working and the hybrid model in different circumstances. Marcus Rashford and other players publicly criticised by their managers. We consider how publicly undermining staff can impact performance and confidence, reflect poorly on a workplace’s culture and give rise to potential legal liability for employers. Can/should lawyers compete on the BBC’s hit show “The Traitors”? We discuss whether competing would breach regulatory standards and whether lawyers would be stereotyped and “banished” early on.

You can listen to the episode here . In our latest episode of The Lawdown , Partner Beth Hale , Partner Emma Bartlet t and Associate Kia Aoki discuss the following: A Cleaner was apparently dismissed by an employment agency, for eating a leftover sandwich which she believed would be discarded after a lawyer’s meeting at a city law firm. She has reportedly asserted claims for race discrimination and unfair dismissal, which is supported by her union In light of this, we discuss the expectation of honesty between employers and employees, and the difficulties that may arise in bringing her claim. There has been speculation that Mason Greenwood, a footballer for Manchester United, may return to the team following the charges of attempted rape and assault being dropped, and an investigation by club management being concluded. We discuss the issues employers may face where an employee is accused of criminal conduct, and factors employers can consider to move things forward.

In light of this, we discuss the importance of ethnicity pay gap reporting and whether it should be made mandatory, and the difficulties and limitations that may arise in producing this data. The disparity between CEO and worker pay is again making the headlines, following a UK thinktank’s finding that by 1pm on the third working day of the year, a FTSE 100 chief executive will have earned more on an hourly basis than a UK worker’s annual salary. We discuss the issues relating to this disparity, including against the backdrop of a cost-of-living crisis, whether workers should have a say in dictating CEO salaries, and possible alternatives where an employer cannot afford to raise the salaries of its employees. Dwight Pile-Gray, a Rastafarian soldier in the British Army, won claims of race discrimination, racial harassment and victimisation in the employment tribunal following an incident where a white colleague didn’t believe he was a soldier based on his appearance.

The Metaverse and the future of work: is the prospect of our workplaces being transported to the developing online virtual reality world – the metaverse – closer than we think? We consider some of the potential benefits and legal and practical challenges (including discrimination and employee wellbeing) that the Metaverse might give rise to and the interplay with employee management and interaction issues observed, following the wider post-pandemic adoption of remote working practices. Storming of the Brazilian Congress: the recent footage of protesters storming the Brazilian congress and Supreme Court building shocked the world and raises employment questions as to whether employers can discipline those who are caught on video.

Gender Neutral Brit Awards Nominations: with one of the UK’s biggest music award ceremonies, the Brit Awards, scrapping its male and female best artist categories for a gender neutral ‘Artist of the Year’ category, we discuss the backlash the Brit Awards has received for filling its nominees with an all-male line-up.

But if you want a break from all of that then we are delighted to share another episode of our topical podcast, The Lawdown , where we discuss our take on recent employment, discrimination and partnership law-related news stories and the interesting legal issues behind them. In our latest episode of The Lawdown, Senior Associates Wonu Sanda and Pooja Dasgupta , alongside Partners Beth Hale and Emma Bartlett discuss the following: The recent mass redundancies sweeping through Twitter and the apparent lack of consultation and process followed. We also weigh in on CEO Elon Musk’s controversial 24 hour ultimatum that remaining staff either accept long and high intensity working hours to build "Twitter 2.0” or leave with a three month severance package and the possible health and safety, employee motivation and well-being implications. Cristiano Ronaldo’s public criticism of and subsequent departure from Manchester United football club and whether employees can be disciplined for publicly criticising their employers, including issues around breach of contract and whistleblowing. We look at other potential outcomes like constructive dismissal claims and negotiated exits often considered in circumstances where there has been a breakdown of mutual trust and confidence. Lady Hussey’s (a former royal lady in waiting) resignation following the revelation that she repeatedly questioned Ngozi Fuloni (a black executive of charity, Sistah Space) on where she was “really” from. We discuss racial prejudices, how these and other such incidents can constitute micro-aggressions, the impact on an individual’s sense of cultural belonging in society or in a workplace and the role of bystanders in the fight against discrimination. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) independent cultural review and recommendations, commissioned following an investigation into the death of a trainee firefighter who had complained of bullying and harassment, including the importance of a zero-tolerance approach to confronting and rooting out misogyny, sexism, abuse, harassment, racism and other forms of discrimination in our workplaces and public institutions.…

Episode 19: Cutting sick pay for the unvaccinated, unpacking the 'politician's "sorry not sorry" apology', and Prince Andrew 30:07

It’s a new year – which, for the Lawdown podcast, means we get to share more of our legal take on new and interesting stories in the news with you! So please join us for our first episode of the year where Partners Beth Hale and Emma Bartlett , Senior Associate Wonu Sanda and Associate Pooja Dasgupta kick off by discussing some of the top news stories so far, including: 1. Cutting sick pay for unvaccinated staff who are required to isolate as a close contact of someone who has tested positive for Covid. With the likes of Next, Ikea and Morrison's receiving hugely divided reactions to the adoption of such sick pay policies, we consider their legality, whether they are discriminatory, the benefits and risks for employers, employee relations, and whether employers have a role to play in incentivising vaccination. 2. “Sorry not sorry”: the recently reported public apologies (or non-apologies as the case may be) of a Conservative MP, and separately Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in the House of Commons and the wider role apologies play in employment and other disputes. We explore different types of apologies and what an effective apology looks like, as well as consider the legal and reputational benefits of apologies and whether they are tantamount to an admission of legal liability. 3. Prince Andrew’s failed attempt to prevent Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against him in the US by relying on tird-partyh waiver of claims wording contained in a $500k settlement agreement she had entered into with Jeffrey Epstein. We discuss how such waivers (which are typically found in settlement agreements) might play out in the UK context and the considerations for UK practitioners drafting similar provisions.
