ABSTRACT
This chapter provides some information on accessing employment law and shows that a large amount of information is available free from the organisations mentioned previously and others, much of which is accessible via the internet. The subject of employment law is the regulation of the relationship between employer and worker or, put in another way, the relationship between the user of labour and the supplier of labour. At an individual level, the law takes the view that the contract of employment is like any other contract, namely a legally binding agreement that two equal parties have voluntarily entered into. Unlike many other courts, employment tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal are created by statute as is the subject matter in which they deal. For employment law purposes, currently the two most important courts are the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights.
