The definitive series on Employment, Discrimination and Pensions law
Published monthly since 1972, the Industrial Cases Reports are the most authoritative employment law series and are indispensable to both lawyers specialising in employment law and lay advisers and tribunal members.
The reports cover cases from the Employment Appeal Tribunal and appeals to the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords, as well as cases originating in the High Court, cases of special interest heard in employment tribunals and cases from the European Court of Justice. (Until 2007 the series also covered restrictive practices and competition cases, but these are now covered by The Business Law Reports.)
All case reports are written by barristers or solicitors who attend court or the Employment Appeal Tribunal for the hearings of all important cases . As with all the ICLR's full text reports, they also contain information about the procedural background of the case, and list all the previous cases cited in argument as well as those referred to in the judgment. The judgments themselves are approved by the judges concerned prior to publication.
The Editor, Clare Noon, is particularly keen to ensure that the headnote to each case is written as clearly, concisely and accurately as possible, so that not only professional lawyers but also lay readers can quickly and easily understand what a case is about and why it might be of relevance to a particular issue.
Headnotes of forthcoming cases are available online, prior to publication, via the ICR Express free case summary service.
As well as the full reports, the printed monthly parts may include Recent Points comprising short one- or two-page summaries of cases which may not merit full reporting but which contain practical or procedural points of interest to practitioners. These helpful summaries are republished in the ICR Cumulative Index, which also lists all the cases reported since 1972 by reference to subject matter, cases and legislation cited.
