Disgraceful!
by Ryan Clement DISGRACEFUL! I am not referring to England football team’s defeat against Iceland at Wembley on 7 June 2024 as part of its preparation for Euro 2024.

Joining the Force
by Ryan Clement WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, many of my friends wanted to be a footballer, doctor or lawyer.

They had a ring to them, in that order; doctor orContinue reading “Joining the Force”

“WHISTLEBLOWING” IN EMPLOYMENT AND THE WORKPLACE
by Ryan Clement IN THIS ARTICLE, I am going to discuss, ‘Whistleblowing,’ from an employment perspective. FIRST THING to make clear are two things. It’s not about actually blowing a whistle to one’s employer, although, of course, there is nothing in law preventing a worker from doing so when disclosing information about a wrongdoing. Second,Continue reading ““WHISTLEBLOWING” IN EMPLOYMENT AND THE WORKPLACE”
THE VERDICT
by Ryan Clement, LL.M., BA., BSc., FRSA, barrister UNLIKE within some jurisdictions (where some jurors become celebrities in their own right if chosen for high-profile cases), we in the UK are not privy to the deliberations of a jury. If you haven’t yet watched or heard Channel 4’s experiment in, ‘The Jury; Murder Trial,’ andContinue reading “THE VERDICT”
