More often than not, it will feature a manufacturing company, but this isn’t always necessary as long as the message is a pertinent one.   As well as a recap of the basics of the law in the relevant area, Casebook deals with the employer’s actions in dealing with the matter right through to the Employment Tribunal’s findings, and even the Employment Appeal Tribunal’s findings   In a Verdict piece, questions are asked of the reader, based on what they have read on the first page, and these are answered on the second.
