Lindsay Solicitors – Prism Issue 245 – 27 February 2026

The Prism bulletin is now loaded up to the members only website.

The latest edition of our Prism bulletin covers recent developments in employment law and highlight notable cases.

In this issue we consider:

  • Whether an employer’s actions were because of a belief or because of the inappropriate manifestation of that belief
  • Whether a fundamentally flawed appeal process can render a dismissal unfair
  • ERA 2025: A practical implementation timetable for SMEs

 Wages Survey 2026

The results of the wages survey conducted between 5 January 2026 and 27th February 2026 are now loaded to the members only website. We received 16 responses. The results are to be used as a guide to businesses.
