Redundancy—individual consultation checklist for employers

Redundancy—individual consultation checklist for employers This Checklist outlines steps to be taken in individual redundancy consultation, whether or not consultation has also taken place at a collective level. It sets out practical considerations involved in planning a redundancy process and covers what should be discussed at open meetings with affected employees, what should be included in letters to affected employees, what should be discussed at individual consultation meetings, what should be included in the notice of dismissal and information to be given about the right of appeal. For further guidance on individual redundancy consultation obligations generally, see Practice Notes: Redundancy—fair procedure: individual consultation and How to carry out individual redundancy consultation. This Checklist assumes that the employer has determined whether collective consultation is required (see Checklist: Redundancy—collective consultation checklist for employers—Identify redundancy situation).

Managing conflicts of interest in pensions

Managing conflicts of interest in pensions THIS PRACTICE NOTE APPLIES TO TRUST-BASED OCCUPATIONAL PENSION SCHEMES Legal requirements in relation to conflicts of interest Pension scheme trustees have a duty to act in the best interests of the scheme's beneficiaries. However, trustees may owe duties to other parties or have personal interests which conflict with that duty. It is a general principle of trust law that trustees should not put themselves in a position where their duty to act in the best interests of beneficiaries conflicts with duties that they owe to other parties or with their personal interests. If trustees make decisions while subject to a conflict of interest that has not been appropriately managed, there is a risk that those decisions may be challenged by scheme members or overturned by the courts. It is important that the members of a scheme should perceive a conflict or potential conflict as having been properly managed. The directors of a company that acts as a trustee of a...

If an unincorporated association refuses to disclose its membership, who should be named as the defendant in proceedings where the limitation period is about to expire?

If an unincorporated association refuses to disclose its membership, who should be named as the defendant in proceedings where the limitation period is about to expire? An unincorporated association is not a legal entity and so, in theory at least, cannot sue or be sued in its own name. This was the position set out in London Association for Protection of Trade v Greenlands Limited. The legal position was considered in some detail in Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Oxford v Broughton. This case involved a campaign by the Animal Liberation Front and associated organisations. The normal way forward would be to obtain a representation order whereby a named member or members or officers of the association would be made parties ‘on behalf of the members of the association’. However, it may not be possible to seek and obtain such a representation order before the limitation period expires and therefore, the potential claimant may wish to know whether it can join...

Where a defendant is charged with an either way offence, how is the venue of the trial decided if the defendant refuses to indicate whether they want summary trial or trial on indictment? Does it make any difference if the defendant is unrepresented?

Where a defendant is charged with an either way offence, how is the venue of the trial decided if the defendant refuses to indicate whether they want summary trial or trial on indictment? Does it make any difference if the defendant is unrepresented? This Q&A assumes that the defendant is over the age of 18, is charged with an either-way offence, and the case is not subject to a notice under section 51A or section 51B Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (CDA 1998). The general rule Where a defendant over the age of 18 is charged and brought before a magistrates’ court in respect of an either way offence, if the defendant gives no indication of plea or indicates that he would plead ‘not guilty’, the court must consider whether the case more suitable to be tried summarily or on indictment (section 19(1) of the Magistrates’ Court Act 1980 (MCA 1980)). If the court concludes that summary trial would be more suitable, the court has a statutory duty under MCA...
