September Issue of Irish Employment Law Update Now Live

The September issue of Irish Employment Law Update is now live for subscribers of Irish Employment Law.

In this month's edition, Paul Kilraine BL writes about the case of Ray O’Sullivan v The Health Service Executive. This is a major decision in Irish employment law, as the principle in Braganza has been unanimously accepted. This means that where a decision is being taken pursuant to a contractual term, that involves discretion on the part of the decision maker, it will need to be reasonable, taking into account all relevant matters and excluding all irrelevant matters. 

Key words:
