Delighted to be featured as @TheLawyermag Barrister of the Week for my involvement in the Uber appeal with my brilliant leader Oliver Segal QC

OSC's Oliver Segal QC and @MelanieTether acted on behalf of a group of #Uber drivers, whose claims are supported by the @GMB_union, in a landmark judgment which will have wide-ranging implications for workers and employers in the gig economy. #ukemplaw oldsquare.co.uk/uber-bv-v-asla…

Some very sensible proposals - especially the extension of contractual jurisdiction, which is long overdue. Looking forward to reading your summary.

Surely HMRC could ask an employment lawyer to review its furlough guidance before it is published? For example, why use ambiguous expressions such as "past overtime" and "compulsory commission" when it would be so easy to use terms employers readily understand? #furlough

Pandemic Law by Twitter. Barristers @MelanieTether and @NadiaMotraghi highlight changes to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and ask why the SEISS treats the self-employed differently in important respects oldsquare.co.uk/news-and-media… #furlough #selfemployed #ukemplaw

#AskRishi Will you give vulnerable employees who are not sick but cannot safely attend work or work remotely a statutory right to be paid?

#AskRishi 1. Will you issue more detailed guidance on what constitutes "work" under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme? 2. Is an employee representative/trade union representative working when carrying out their representatives functions?
