ABSTRACT
In addition, the House of Lords’ decision in R v Secretary of State for Employment exp EOC (1994) led to the Employment Protection (Part-time Worker) Regulations 1995, equating the rights of part-time workers with those of full-timers and establishing the basis on which the Commission may seek judicial review. Apart from this, European law has had a major impact in certain areas, particularly sex discrimination, equal pay and transfers of undertakings, in addition to the Human Rights Act (HRA) 1998, implementing the European Convention on Human Rights. As such, issues relating to jurisdiction can also arise in questions on other areas, as will be seen in later chapters.
