Episode 41 - Oat Milk, 'The Man Who Sued God', 'Ancient Law', and Celebrity Guest Andrew Savage joins us to discuss qualification periods in Unfair Dismissal claims
According to our Celebrity Guest Andrew Savage this week, the podcast was exactly a year and a day old on the day of recording... whilst we may have missed the chance to do a special feature on the old 'year and a day' rule as it applied to murder in England and Wales, we nevertheless have a jam-packed show. First, there is some inevitable discussion of the week's news regarding the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor regarding allegations that he strenuously denies before Billy Connolly makes his 'Law on Film' debut as 'The Man Who Sued God'. Next we fire up the time machine as we head to ancient Rome to discuss Roman contract law in the debut of our new feature, 'Ancient Law', before returning swiftly to the present for a spotlight on the reforms to qualification periods in unfair dismissal cases with our Celebrity Guest Andrew Savage.
