Liability for travel injuries
Article Abstract:
Recent court cases decided in the House of Lords regarding employer liability and work-related travel are analyzed to reveal current legal implications. The findings in court cases, such as Nancolas versus Insurance Officer and Vandyke versus Fender, indicate that to claim employer liability, employees must show that injuries occurred in the course of their employment. Additionally, while employers are generally not responsible for injuries that occur while an employee is traveling to and from work, employers are liable for cases where employers are injured while they are at work and are traveling.

Developments in equality
Article Abstract:
The gender discrimination cases reported in the UK 1989 totaled 1,249, an increase of 23% over the previous year. The number of pay equity cases reported in 1989 came to 733, the highest number ever recorded. The decisions in the gender discrimination cases demonstrate that employers need not be too concerned as long as they hire the best person for the job. Employers should be aware that even though the number of equal pay claims was smaller, the effect of the decisions can be great.
