Employment law barrister at @42BR_employment. Dad to 2 amazing children. Love a good #ukemplaw thread. All views my own, etc etc etc.

Whilst @gilescoren is a great columnist and restaurant critic, I fear he's a little to learn before he makes it as an employment lawyer. For a start, alas it's currently outside the employment tribunal's powers to sentence a respondent to death. #ukemplaw

@finishedloading Congratulations. Very happy to hear it. Good luck in pupillage. It's a huge learning curve but embrace it and you'll learn lessons that will stand you in good stead throughout your career.

@Joanna__Hardy @MattJEJackson The 1st time I went there to issue an appeal was pre-pupillage. I couldn't find the RCJ, let alone the Appeals Office. I asked a random passerby if they knew where the RCJ was. They took me on 1 further step forward, and said "Yes, it's here".

@MattJEJackson @Joanna__Hardy Was the same with the civil counter. All routes led to the Bear Garden, no matter where you went. Mind you, I once, when working late in the CA JA offices, walked through a mass costumed sword fight going on in the Bear Garden. Very surreal.

An important campaign by the Miscarriage Association to seek to add miscarriage loss to bereavement leave entitlements in the Employment Rights Bill.

It's an amendment that makes absolute sense and one I strongly support.

@hugorifkind Do we need to settle this by commissioning JPR to carry out a survey of us Jews to determine once and for all who we prefer, Allison or Hugo? Surely it's the only way to reach a resolution? Well, that or a dreidel contest.

@Michae1Salter @HWBurroughs Ensuring all tables are the right height to comfortably work at would be a start!

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

@DavidMuttering @legalhackette My response was precisely the same! Phew!

Today, we’re making a stand and launching our Leave for Every Loss campaign, so that women and their partners who experience a pre-24 week pregnancy loss have the legal right to take bereavement leave from work.

@LizMcG_emplaw Every time we have people over and use on of his boards we get immediate compliments on it. They are simply stunning.

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

@DXW_KC Awkward as it sounds, isn't this an appropriate response from the AG (and one you'd give if AG yourself)? Your letter raises legitimate arguments that need to be tested, and which hopefully the AG would instruct counsel to ensure were fully ventilated in court at the right time.

@DeshpalPanesar @MattJEJackson @ishkolhatkar Ah I’m sorry to hear this. It looked good in the photo. We sometimes get the same, with an inexplicable lack of rise. Never worked out why.

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

@DeshpalPanesar @MattJEJackson @ishkolhatkar Oh dear there’s a challah tov punning available from the breakfast menu!

(This pun only works if you pronounce challah correctly with the guttural ch and understand that challah tov is Hebrew for good challah.)

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

@MattJEJackson @DeshpalPanesar @ishkolhatkar Red trainers?

In case Gregg Wallace needs expert advice on this, there is no exception under the Equality Act allowing sexual harassment of 'middle class women of a certain age'.

@DeshpalPanesar There is no penance needed. Enjoy the plaiting. Look forward to seeing the results and the acclamation.

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

@DeshpalPanesar Is there something special about 30th November that I’m missing?

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

@DeshpalPanesar Good luck with tomorrow. Sorry not to have been able to be there (though the challah quality would have decreased had I been) - am sure it’s going to be amazing as well as raising loads for a great cause.

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

@DeshpalPanesar And if my answer is “do not, under any circumstances, bake it tonight”?
