Chapter 7

Workers outside Great Britain 


[ch 7: page 204]

The EA 10 covers all those working in Great Britain. Northern Ireland is covered by separate legislation. 


As regards workers outside Great Britain, the test is whether a claimant has a sufficiently strong connection with Great Britain (Clyde & Co LLP v Bates von Winkelhof [2012] EWCA Civ 1207). This is the same as the test used for claims of unfair dismissal (See Chapter 10: Dismissal).
