Employment law cases

Four Seasons Healthcare Ltd (formerly Cotswold Spa Retirement Hotels Ltd) v Maughan [2005] IRLR 324 EAT

Reports relating to this case:

Contracts of employment: Bail conditions do not frustrate contract of employment

Date:

11 March 2005

In Four Seasons Healthcare Ltd v Maughan, the EAT holds that frustration of a contract of employment requires some outside event or extraneous change of situation not foreseen by or provided for by the contract. The existence of a detailed disciplinary procedure specifically dealing with patient abuse should inhibit a tribunal from finding frustration.
