This book examines how the development of the common law under the influence of contemporary social and economic pressures has caused this contract to evolve. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternational employment law experts provide a comparative study of the contract of employment across three closely related common law jurisdictions: the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Adopting a thematic approach, they analyse the key facets of the common law of employment such as who is an employee, the implied duties of employees and the restraints on employee mobility. Examining the interaction between common law and domestic statutory law and the politics and labour relations systems, this book considers the legal variations for each jurisdiction and its response to new developments in employment. It addresses the capacity of the common law to respond to contemporary developments such as the  gig' economy and the increasingly intrusive surveillance of employees, both at work and in their private lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsightful and contemporary, this book will appeal to students and scholars of employment and contract law as well as those studying comparative law more widely. Practitioners involved in employment policy or employment litigation will also benefit from the wealth of up-to-date knowledge on common law trends and developments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGordon Anderson, Professor Emeritus, Faculty of Law, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, Douglas Brodie, Professor, School of Law, University of Strathclyde, UK and Joellen Riley, Faculty of Law, University of Technology Sydney, Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 29, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48902585286905,"sku":"9781783479696","price":170.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/M7t0e6Wgnp9781783479696.webp?v=1787766735","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-common-law-employment-relationship-a-comparative-study-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
