Nutshells are a series of books designed to present the essentials of law in clear, straightforward language. For more than 30 years, students have regarded Nutshells as the ideal means of revising their subjects. This new edition includes reference to the Employment Act 2002 which introduces important changes into a number of areas of employment law. Unlike the previous edition, the 2nd edition consists of not only individual employment law, but also an overview of collective labour law.
