In this two part CPDcast series, Frederic Reynold QC, a barrister at Old Square Chambers, examines the use and limitations of imagination when discussing contractual issues in employment law.
In part one, Freddy explained why imagination and employment litigation are linked and examined the origins and development of the implied term as to mutual trust and confidence. He also analysed the case of Scally v Southern Health and Social Services Board.
In this part, Freddy continues his analysis of the case of Scally v Southern Health and Social Services Board and discusses the limitations to which the imaginative solution to an otherwise intractable problem may be prone particularly when dealing with the implied contract of employment.
