This seminar will explore the contours of the so-called rule in Said v Butt so as to consider how far and in what circumstances employees might be able to seek redress directly against their employer’s officers, taking as a starting point the decision of Lane J in Antuzis v DJ Houghton Catching Services Ltd [2019] EWHC 843 (QB); [2019] Bus LR 1558.
Please e-mail events@gatehouselaw.co.uk if you would like to join us. We look forward to welcoming you.
