Season 9: E8 | Dirty Dancing | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/08/10

For the final podcast of this season, Simon & Jack travel back to the Summer of ‘63, have the time of their lives & discuss hit chick flick, Dirty Dancing. Was Max Kellerman guilty of discrimination? Could his nephew Neil have fired Johnny for the stolen wallets? And was Baby’s admission about her mambo partner “all for nothing”? Don’t fret, listeners. We’ll return later in the year. But, in the meantime, please remember, nobody puts JB in a corner…

Season 9: E7 | Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/08/03

Does Anakin Skywalker meet the common law test of being an apprentice (agreement, training, duration of contract) in Star Wars, Attack of the Clones? Has the young Padawan received any training? And can Obi Wan expel Anakin from the Jedi Order like he could a normal Jedi? Lastly has Jack actually watched the film in the last week? (If you listen to the very end of this podcast, you will find your answer).

Season 9: E6 | The Devil Wears Prada | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/07/27

Is Andy’s sweater truly cerulean blue? Will you ever look at belts in the same way again? And is a grilled 8lbs Jarlsberg sandwich the best snack ever? Simon and Jack don’t actually answer any of these questions, but they do discuss the real demon in The Devil Wears Prada. And *spoiler alert* they bicker about Miranda Priestley’s management style…

Season 9: E5 | Zootropolis | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/07/20

For a Disney film (Zootropolis), this fairly packs an employment law punch. The team discuss sex discrimination, unilateral variations to contract and unconscious bias. Si tells a story about a surgeon. JB impersonates Officer Hopps. And Roman spoils the “Flash, Flash, Hundred Yard Dash” ending for everyone! (They also get the singing out the way within the first six seconds of this podcast)

Season 9: E4 | Filth | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/07/13

If you’ve watched the film, Filth, in preparation for this week’s ELiYP podcast, then we apologise. Amongst other things, Simon and Jack discuss perceptive discrimination related to sexual orientation. If you’re easily shocked or have a nervous disposition, please don’t listen to this podcast (particularly not the last exchange when these two quote from the film)! All complaints to JB please.

Season 9: E3 | The Bodyguard | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/07/06

This week, Simon, Jack and Roman discuss the 1992 film, The Bodyguard. Did Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) successfully engage Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner) on a self-employed basis? Do the team score The Bodyguard as highly as they scored the previous films? And will Si avoid singing Queen of the Night/I Will Always Love You? (No, no, and thrice no).

Season 9: E2 | Bridget Jones’ Diary | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/06/29

OK listeners. I hope that you’ve popped on your penguin pyjamas and reindeer jumper because this week, we take a deep dive into the world of Bridget Jones’ Diary. Simon and Jack ask, would Mr Fitzherbert have a claim against Bridget if he discovered his nickname? Is the Tarts and Vicars’ Party within the course of employment? And was it Daniel Cleaver or a bot who was DM’ing Bridget?

Season 9: E1 | Love Actually | The Law Behind The Movies | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2023/06/22

In this new season, Simon and Jack discuss the film, Love Actually. How many red flags can you spot in Si’s favourite Christmas film? Is this the ultimate Christmas film or is it a spiritless, insincere cheese fest which should be hurled in the compost bin with your leftover brussels sprouts? What the team fail to spot IMHO is the stalker(ish) behaviour by Andrew Lincoln. I mean, seriously..… who makes a film of your best man, featuring close ups of Keira Knightley’s teeth?

Season 8: E10 | Academic facing claim for expenses worth £170k after a failed race discrimination claim | The Law Behind The Headlines | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2022/10/07

In the final episode of Season 8, Jack and Simon discuss the case of Leary-Owhin v London South Bank University - an overview of a discrimination case relating to race. Was it harassment for the employer to suggest that Dr Leary-Owhin was “playing the race card”? Will Simon find an opportunity to sing? Will Jack manage to hold back the tears? Brace yourselves, listeners. It’s going to get emotional.

Season 8: E9 | Is menopause a disability? | The Law Behind The Headlines | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2022/09/29

After Soares-gate, EmploymentLawyerInYourPodcast-gate and JohnCReilly-gate, season 8 episode 9 starting with “Take 3” doesn’t bode well. But Simon and Jack are joined by Stephen and they (eventually!!) do get around to discussing a really important topic which is becoming of ever-increasing relevance to employers- menopause. They look at the case of Rooney v Leicester City Council, where an employee sought to establish her menopause amounted to a disability and then look at whether other protected characteristics could be relied upon to provide protections to individuals who are struggling at work due to the symptoms of menopause. And on behalf of Shownotes Simon… Ahmed v Metroline - https://bit.ly/3dRKzdb Harassed into making reasonable adjustments - https://bit.ly/3LRcA10

Season 8: E8 | Rangers fan – religion or belief? | The Law Behind The Headlines | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2022/09/22

Butch and Sundance return for Ep 8. They discuss whether supporting Rangers FC amounts to a philosophical belief in terms of the Equality Act. They also discuss the five part “Grainger” test as to what qualifies as a “belief”. And lastly, they have cause to mention the American, award-winning actor/comedian, John C Reilly. (They *may* have confused their J Reillys)

Season 8: E7 | The Buck Stops EAR | The Law Behind The Headlines | Employment Lawyer In Your Pocket

2022/09/08

Simon welcomes Blair back to the podcast to discuss the case of Soares v Ofgem. Did the comment, “let’s play it by ear” to an employee with an ear infection amount to harassment? Was it reasonable for that comment to have offended Mr Soares? Has Simon pronounced Mr Flucker’s name correctly? And is Blair replacing JB on the podcast in the future? Buckle up, listeners. This podcast is a goodie.
