Updated by Ian Smith and Aaron Baker, Smith & Wood's Employment Law maintains its reputation for both thorough coverage and lucidity of presentation. The authors provide contextualized discussion throughout and introduce the socio-political pressures affecting this dynamic and fast paced area of law. The topics are introduced with clarity and focus and have been carefully organized to reflect the structure of employment law courses.

The tenth edition features coverage of the most significant aspects of individual employment law including a revised chapter on discrimination law in light of the Single Equality Act and an analysis of the repealed statutory dismissal and disputes procedure. The book finishes with a concise overview and analysis of collective employment law and industrial action.

Review from previous edition: "This is one of the best books that I have seen recently; it has a logical approach to the succession of topics in the order in which they would normally feature. I highly recommend this excellent textbook." --Barry J. Harwood, The Law Teacher
