    Length of Service and Equal Pay / Maternity Leave and Continuing Obligations (Updates)

    Men tend to have longer service than women. Pay scales which reward length of service will therefore tend to benefit men more than women. One of the surprising features of the recent case of HSE v Cadman is that this is apparently the first case in which that proposition has been challenged under the Equal Pay legislation, at least at appeal level.

    Descriptive Trade Marks - A Question of Degree

    There have been a whole raft of decisions issued by the European Court of First Instance (CFI) and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over the last two years concerning the question of how one evaluates whether a trade mark is descriptive. Marks such as BIOMILD, POSTKANTOOR, DOUBLEMINT and BABY-DRY should now trip off the tongue of any trade mark lawyer. One must now add a new mark to that illustrious list, EUROPREMIUM.

    Union Recognition: A Loophole Emerges

    Legal challenges to the statutory recognition procedure introduced by the Employment Act in 2000 have been relatively few so far, as have inter union disputes, in marked contrast to the previous attempt in the 1970s to introduce statutory procedures.
