Edinburgh Law School academics feature in Commons briefing paper
A blog written by Professor David Cabrelli of Edinburgh Law School along with research assistant Jessica D’alton has been featured in the House of Commons Library Briefing Paper 8880.
Professor Cabrelli’s work on legal matters relating to COVID-19 was referred to three times in the House of Commons Library Briefing Paper. These briefing papers are distributed to all MPs to assist them in their work of holding the UK government to account.
The blog post considers the effect of the government’s furlough scheme on the common law rights of employees and workers, examining the Treasury Direction to HMRC and the applicability of common law implied terms in the context of furlough.
