Our newsletter this month includes two interesting unfair dismissal cases from the Employment Appeal Tribunal: one featuring an employee alleging unfair dismissal due to their political affiliations , and one considering whether an employee was required to disclose their own bankruptcy to their employer .

We also report on the new regulations extending the ban on contractual exclusivity clauses to zero-hours workers on low pay, the Government’s latest proposals to limit public sector exit payments, and the Acas Annual Report for 2021-2022.
Our immigration update this month covers a round-up of all of the latest UK visa changes, the end of COVID-adjusted remote Right to Work checks, the increase of priority processing slots for Sponsor Licence applications, the delay of ETIAS registration requirement for travellers to Europe, a statement of changes set to take effect on 10 August 2022 and the introduction of section 4L to the British Nationality Act 1981.
