Having noted that the employer

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

Having noted that the employer had exempted the employee from performing the notice period, which meant that the non-performance was the consequence of that decision and not of the inability to work, the Court of Appeal was right to order the employer to pay her compensation in lieu of notice.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly comply with the legal time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
