Clyde & Co LLP and another v Bates van Winkelhof [2014] ICR 730, para 25, per Lady Hale.
At the end of 2017, about 900,000 workers thought they were on zero-hours contracts whereas businesses reported 1.8 million zero-hours contracts: Contracts that do not guarantee a minimum number of hours: April 2018, ONS, 2018. The report explains that the discrepancy is likely to be largely because of a lack of realisation on the workers' part and the fact that many workers have more than one such contract.
For example, with the proposed new statutory principles, is there a need for the implied term of mutual trust and confidence with its judicially imposed limits?
Illegal conduct should, of course, be punishable — but as a separate infringement, if illegality has indeed occurred.
