Abstract

Labour law is constantly evolving, with new cases and legal developments shaping how we understand and apply the law. This annual update, now in its sixth year, highlights and analyses significant labour law cases handed down between June 2023 and May 2024, focusing on their impact on legal science. Over the past year, courts have grappled with various complex issues related to employment rights. These cases have resolved disputes between parties and set important precedents that will guide future legal decision-making and scholarship. This update explores the key holdings and reasoning of these landmark cases and their implications for employees, employers and the broader legal landscape. The update aims to deepen our understanding of labour law and its practical application in the modern workplace. The cases discussed in this update have been carefully selected based on their potential to shape legal theory, challenge existing assumptions and spark new avenues of research.
