redundancy or the expiry of a fixed-term contract, TUPE, retirement and, rarely
but sadly, death in service.

What's new?
Unfair dismissal: the increase to the qualifying period for unfair
dismissal claims (from one to two years) applies to all employees who started
employment on or after 6 April 2012.
See: dismissal
Employment judges are now able to sit alone on unfair dismissal cases.
See: employment tribunals
Compromise agreements: an amendment to the Equality Act makes
it clear that someone acting on behalf of the claimant is not excluded from being
an independent advisor - thus making these agreements effective for Equality Act
claims.
