The latest high profile Employment Law case to come under scrutiny has been that of Pimlico Plumbers Ltd vs Smith for which we heard the Supreme Court ruling this week. As has been widely reported in the media, the Supreme Court (the third stage in the appeals process to do so) upheld the decision of the original Employment Tribunal.
