Interns

In the case of X v Mid Sussex Citizens Advice Bureau [2012] UKSC 59, interns received some words of encouragement from the Judge who confirmed that some interns “might well be covered” by Article 3(1)(b) of the European Framework Directive, on the basis that they are receiving “practical work experience.” Article 3(1) (b) bans discrimination by both public and private sector employers in “access to all types and to all levels of vocational guidance, vocational training, advanced vocational training and retraining, including practical work experience”.
