We are delighted to welcome Gerard McDermott QC back to Stewarts Soundbites to discuss care claims in serious injury cases.
Gerard and Emma Lyons discussed the Supreme Court decision in the Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake case and reflect upon the impact on care regimes in catastrophic injury cases.
This case considered whether home workers who are required to remain at home in their shift and/or residential care workers who ‘sleep in’ are entitled to national minimum wage for time not spent performing a specific activity.
