Hinsichtlich der Beteiligung und Information des Europäischen Betriebsrats ist vieles noch im Unklaren. So sehen die EBR-Richtlinie und das EBRG die zentrale Leitung als Ansprechpartner des Europäischen Betriebsrats vor. Falls die zentrale Leitung nicht im Geltungsbereich der EBR-Richtlinie angesiedelt ist, hat sie einen Vertreter im Geltungsbereich zu benennen, der an ihrer Stelle als Ansprechpartner des Europäischen Betriebsrats fungiert. Bislang ungeklärt war hingegen, ob eine neue…
The UK’s political landscape continues to be dominated by the shock 2016 referendum vote to leave the European Union. Following a surprise General Election in June 2017, prime minister Theresa May unexpectedly lost her parliamentary majority amid deep divisions about how the UK should approach Brexit. Against that backdrop, the Brexit negotiations between the UK and EU began in 2017 and will continue into 2018….
Max Schrems, an Austrian law student successfully brought a case to the European Court of Justice in 2015 that resulted in the “safe harbour” – an agreement that allowed the transfer of EU citizens’ data to the US – being declared invalid. Since then, transfers outside the EU have largely been conducted based on previously approved ‘model clauses’. But Mr Schrems has now brought a…
A major, independent review of UK employment law, commissioned by the prime minister in October 2016, has published its long awaited report – the “Review of Modern Working Practices”, chaired by Matthew Taylor.

The UK triggered Article 50 on 29 March 2017 giving two years’ notice to leave the EU. Negotiations will now start on the terms of exit.

It seems highly likely that these exit…
The political scene in the UK has inevitably been dominated in recent months by the vote narrowly in favour of “Brexit” in the referendum on EU membership last June and its associated political fallout. This led, among other things, to David Cameron’s resignation as prime minister and leader of the Conservative party and his replacement by Theresa May. One consequence of all this furore is…
The Government may argue in the Supreme Court that its Article 50 notice to leave the European Union may be revoked, according to press reports. This would be the exact opposite of what it argued in the High Court, which noted that it was “common ground between the parties that a notice under Article 50 cannot be withdrawn, once it is given”. It is, however, a…
The UK referendum outcome to leave the European Union has opened a Pandora’s box of what the legal landscape may be in the UK after Brexit. However, such is not the case, to a great extent, for the data protection law regime which will be applicable in the UK in the post- Brexit era. The current Data Protection and Cyber security regime Last month the…
The UK finds itself in a state of unprecedented turmoil following the vote in favour of leaving the EU in the recent referendum. The Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative party, David Cameron, has resigned. The leader of the opposition Labour party has suffered an overwhelming no confidence vote from his own party’s MPs, largely on account of his half-hearted support for remaining in the…
