Restatement of Labour Law: new book on employment termination law
The third book in the Restatement of Labour Law Series has recently been published by German publisher Beck. This part addresses employment termination law. The book contains 36 chapters with an extensive overview of employment termination law in the different European countries as well as a comparative law analysis.
The aim of the Restatement project is to formulate common elements in the labour laws of the European countries. These regulations are intended to provide inspiration and comparison. The project does not aim directly at formulation proposals for European legislation but hopes to contribute to the reasoning behind it. Two books have been previously published in the series on, respectively, employment contracts and flexible employment relationships. The series is the product of a study group from the European Labour Law Network. The network consists of labour law experts from 36 European countries, including all the member states of the EU and EER. The network was founded by Guus Heerma van Voss, Professor of Labour Law at Leiden Law School and Professor Bernd Waas of the University of Frankfurt in 2007. Heerma van Voss was co-coordinator of the network until 2012 and has written the chapter on the Netherlands for this book.
