Waste
Collection and Management |
| Just when you thought you could retire
gracefully, a recent European Court case reaffirms the old adage
that pensions are really about sex, death and money. Fiona
Thornton explains two important changes brought in by the
Social Welfare and Pensions Act 2008. |
New regulations relating to the collection
and management of waste are expected to come into force on 1
June 2008.

Supreme
Court Deals a Blow
for Common Sense |
| Employers who have concerns in relation
to employees who may be malingering and availing of 'duvet days'
must follow proper procedures in order to protect themselves
from potential unfair dismissal claims. Jennifer
Clarke outlines best practice. |
The Supreme Court has described the
statutory regime relating to the restriction of company directors
as 'draconian'. And it had some harsh words for the Director
of Corporate Enforcement, too. Hugh
Garvey discusses this landmark judgment. |

| Although your advertising and marketing
staff might be tempted to knock your competitor's product or
service, there are rules about this kind of thing - and they
just got tougher, as Deirdre
Kilroy explains. |
While Dustin the Turkey may be grabbing
all the headlines, there is even more news of various different
types of fowl. Aine
Matthews explains the ruffled feathers. |

of Charity |
New
Faces at the Firm |
| These days, charities are big business
in terms of the amount of money they raise and spend each year,
