This report relates to 1 case(s)
Part-time staff claiming the same rights as full-timers have received a major boost from a crucial decision by the House of Lords.
In Matthews and Others v Kent & Medway Towns and Fire Authority and others - a test case affecting about 16,500 retained firefighters - the House of Lords made it easier for part-timers to compare themselves with full-timers.
