Qua v John Ford Morrison Solicitors [2003] IRLR 184 EAT (4 other reports)
In Qua v John Ford Morrison Solicitors (14 January 2003), the EAT confirms that the statutory right to time off in respect of dependants is a right to deal with unexpected events, and is not intended to allow an employee to provide care for a sick dependant beyond the reasonable amount necessary to enable them to deal with the immediate crisis.
