- Course Aims:
This podcast aims to give the listener an overview of the controversial decision in Jivraj v Hashwani. It looks at why this case has attracted so much attention and discusses the possible reasons that the key issues before the court were decided differently in the Commercial Court and the Court of Appeal. In this podcast a number of employment law concepts and their applicability to arbitration and arbitrators are explored.

The case of Jivraj v Hashwani has caused a stir in the arbitration community due to its unexpected Court of Appeal ruling and its potentially far-reaching impact on this area of law.

NB: Since this podcast was recorded the Supreme Court (Jivraj (Appellant) v Hashwani (Respondent) [2011] UKSC 40) has confirmed that an arbitrator is not a person employed under a contract personally to do work within the meaning of the Regulations, which do not therefore apply. The Court also found that the Requirement would have fallen within the exception for genuine occupational requirements if the Regulations had applied.
