Part-time workers have the right not to be treated less favourably (see Less favourable treatment and the pro-rata principle below) than a comparable full-time worker (see Comparable full-time worker, below) in relation to certain employment-related matters under the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 (PTW Regs 2000), SI 2000/1551. They also have the right to request from their employer a written statement giving reasons for any less favourable treatment to which they have been subjected (see The right to a written statement giving reasons for less favourable treatment, below). Part-time workers are also protected against victimisation by their employer (consisting of subjecting the worker to a detriment or dismissing the worker) for having exercised or sought to exercise their rights under PTW Regs 2000 (see under Tribunal claims, below). In some circumstances, part-time workers may have the right to bring, under the Equality Act 2010 (EqA 2010), a claim for indirect discrimination, or an equality of terms claim, in relation to less favourable treatment they have experienced. Full-time employees who wish to change the terms of

This Practice Note considers the legal and practical issues faced by an employer when managing the use of alcohol and drugs in the workplace. Legal framework Under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA 1974), all employers have a general duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees. If an employer knowingly allows an employee under the influence of alcohol or drugs to continue working and this places the employee or others at risk, the employer could be liable to enforcement action, including prosecution, under HSWA 1974. Employees are also required to take reasonable care of themselves and others who could be affected by what they do. They, too, could be liable to prosecution if their alcohol consumption or drug-taking puts safety at risk. Employees must also co-operate with their employer so far as is necessary to enable the employer to perform or comply with statutory duties and/or requirements under relevant statutory health and safety provisions. For further information on health and safety in the workplace generally,

This Practice Note describes and explains the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) process and covers: • Application of the UDRP • Purpose of the UDRP • UDRP provisions • UDRP—what the Complainant has to prove (three-stage test) • UDRP first element (Complainant’s rights) • UDRP second element (Respondent’s rights) • Evidence of bad faith • UDRP process Application of the UDRP The UDRP process provides a dispute resolution procedure primarily aimed at resolving claims of abusive or bad faith domain name registration. It applies to all generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) names (examples include .com, .net, .org, and all new gTLDs) operated under contract with Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). It also applies to country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) that have adopted the UDRP on a voluntary basis. Where the gTLD is operated under contract with ICANN, the UDRP is required to be incorporated into the contract of registration for each gTLD domain name (for a list of such gTLDs, see ICANN’s Registry Listing

This Practice Note considers the ‘doctrine of separability’ of arbitration agreements in international arbitration. The doctrine of separability The ‘doctrine of separability’ treats an agreement to arbitrate contained within a contract as an independent agreement that is deemed to be separable from the main contract. The doctrine preserves the validity and enforceability of arbitration as the chosen mechanism for resolving disputes, even if the main contract is invalid and unenforceable. As a consequence of the doctrine, an arbitration agreement may still be valid and enforceable, even though the main agreement in which it is contained is itself found to be invalid and unenforceable. Thus, the parties are considered to have entered into two distinct agreements which are separable. The issue of separability will arise whenever there is a challenge to the validity of the main agreement; for example, if English law were to apply, the main agreement could be challenged on a number of grounds including, but not limited to: • an absence of authority

Consultant appointments take many forms and there is considerable flexibility in the layout and in the drafting of clauses. Parties may choose to adopt one of the standard forms of appointment published by industry bodies, see for example Practice Notes: RIBA Standard Professional Services Contract 2020 for Architectural Services, NEC Professional Service Contract, ACE Professional Services Agreement and CIC Consultants' Contract Conditions. Alternatively, many consultants and employers have their own bespoke terms for the appointment of consultants on construction projects. This Checklist sets out the key clauses which should generally be included in a well-drafted consultant appointment. It can be used when drafting or reviewing proposed terms for a consultant. This Checklist contains links to clauses within our clause bank which may be used or adapted for use in consultant appointments. For precedent forms of consultant appointment (which contain the provisions referred to below), see Precedents: Consultant’s appointment—long form design and Consultant’s appointment—long form non-design. Cover page For clarity, a well-drafted appointment should have a cover page containing the date on which the appointment is executed, the names of the parties

The Supplier shall The terms of a contract define the existence and scope of the parties’ respective rights and obligations to one another. A contractual term is a statement that amounts to a promise or undertaking and forms part of a contract. The terminology in contractual clauses (such as the ‘shall’ obligation) is significant. ‘Shall’ is an absolute obligation to perform a given activity. Any deviation from an absolute obligation is normally the result of considerable negotiation and often represents a compromise where one party has argued that it is not reasonable for it to be placed under an absolute obligation. The terms 'best endeavours', 'all reasonable endeavours' and 'reasonable endeavours' are frequently used
