Jurisdiction in Employment Matters Post-Brexit

This article deals with the jurisdiction of the civil courts and employment tribunals in employment matters post-Brexit. It focuses on the somewhat defective transposition of the rules of jurisdiction in employment matters of the Brussels Ia Regulation in sections 15A and 15C-15E of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 and the unclear relationship between these rules and other rules that regulate jurisdiction in employment matters, most importantly employment tribunal procedure rules. By deconstructing the current law, this article discloses its considerable complexity and discusses possibilities for improvement.
