Our mission

Group litigation

What the rulings so far have found about the Ryanair engagement structure

Courts in three countries have examined the arrangement under which pilots were supplied. We explain what those rulings found about how the structure worked in practice — and what they do, and do not, decide about the High Court claim.

Holiday pay

King v Sash Window Workshop — how far back can workers really claim?

Following the CJEU ruling, workers misclassified as self-employed can claim holiday entitlement back to 1998 — when the Working Time Directive was introduced. We explain who qualifies.

Coming soon

Loan Charge

Mitigating the Loan Charge via agency PAYE — the strategy explained

Following Hoey and Finucane, we have identified an angle. Where an Agency should have operated PAYE under s 44 ITEPA but didn't, contractors may recover the tax they paid.
