As football fans know the two best football players at the moment are considered to be Lionel Messi of Barcelona and Christian Ronaldo of Man Utd.
This time of year transfer speculation is rife. Which player is moving to which club, who’s in, who’s out, what’s the weekly wage etc.
Today we can exclusively reveal that Arsenal sign Messi
….. Well I found it funny anyway, a surreal end to a surreal week.

The EAT has held in a judgment published yesterday that a grievance in writing expressly described as informal and not a statutory grievance can nevertheless be treated as a statutory grievance.
In this case the Claimant had raised a grievance stating specifically that that it was informal and not a statutory grievance. The Employment Tribunal held that it could not therefore be treated as a statutory grievance and that it therefore had no jurisdiction to hear the race discrimination claim.
However, the EAT upheld the Claimant’s appeal concluding that because the grievance was set out in writing and sent to the employer it met the requirements laid down for a Step 1 grievance letter and whether or not it was stated to be a statutory grievance did not affect that conclusion.
What the EAT left open was if it would be unjust to subject an employer to an increase in compensation if they did not deal with the grievance in these circumstances.

The British Standards Institute (BSI) has produced a Whistleblowing Code of Practice. It sets out the good practice arrangements for the introduction, operation and review of whilstleblowing provisions.
In our experience the whistleblowing provisions are not as well used as other employment legislation. However, in a climate where business practices are under the ethical spotlight we may see it being used more and more.
In order to receive a free copy of the Code of Practice you need to register your details with the BSI.
